Government Agencies Fund Introductory Workshop

On Thursday 11th September 2008, NZAID will be holding an introductory workshop on the NZ Government Agencies Fund for interested NZ government agencies and other eligible organisations (for eligibility please refer to the GAF guidelines). The workshop will be a full-day event at the offices of NZAID in Wellington .

The objective of the workshop is to inform agencies of their eligibility to apply for GAF funding, give details on the application and assessment processes, and provide an understanding of the work that the GAF encompasses and an understanding of development work more generally. It is envisaged that the workshop would give NZ government agencies:

a clear understanding of the nature of the GAF, including an introduction to GAF and its objectives
an understanding of development work and cross-cutting issues
knowledge of the application and selection process
guidance on monitoring and evaluation
knowledge of the financial and reporting requirements
an understanding of communication with posts during the project period

You can register for the workshop or request more information by emailing Renee Simpson renee.simpson@nzaid.govt.nz or phone (04) 439 8865. Registrations will be accepted until Friday 29 August. Places are limited so please register early.
