UPDATE ON APIDS FUNDING
Partnership agreements have been signed with four DPO's - Fiji, Kiribati, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. Funding agreements are being negotiated and will be announced here sometime in July.
APIDS FUNDING POLICY - MARCH 2007
APIDS is pleased to announce that funding policies and procedures were approved by the Board in January. The plan is to distribute funds in May and November each year, and the first distribution will occur in May, 2007. Potential partner DPOs in the Pacific are urged to contact APIDS in order to determine eligibility and then to draw up a Letter of Agreement.
The following principles will govern APIDS funding distribution:
APIDS will provide support to DPOs, defined as organisations which are managed by people with disabilities
APIDS will work in a cooperative relationship with partner DPOs in the Pacific
Funding will not be provided to individuals
Funding is intended to support the core business and operating costs of DPOs
Partner DPOs must: have a written constitution; prohibit distribution of income among members; and have an
annual financial audit
Funding is intended to support DPOs which share the values of APIDS
Funding can be provided by APIDS through a trusted third party to a DPO if appropriate
APIDS funding allocations will be transparent
A Directors meeting is to be held in April in order to make decisions about which Disabled Peoples Organisations (DPOs) will receive the first funding.
