The Community Partnership Service is an important part of AFAP’s ongoing strategic development. Through the Service, communities in Australia are linked with communities in Africa, the Pacific, South East Asia and South Asia in the support of specific development and poverty alleviation projects.
With AFAP technical support, development expertise and guidance, Community Partners mobilise the financial and human resources of Australian communities for the purpose of responding to developmental needs that have been identified by communities in recipient countries.
2006–2007 was another busy year for the Community Partnership Service, with the consolidation of previous work in the re-writing of the Community Partnership Policy and refinement of various processes relating to the approval and assessment of applications from prospective Community Partners.
Several new Community Partners were welcomed during the year.
In September 2007, the first AFAP Community Partnership Workshop will be held in Sydney. The Workshop will provide the opportunity for Community Partners to share information about their experiences in supporting overseas development projects as well as direct access to AFAP’s technical specialists
If you are part of a community group that is interested in supporting an overseas aid project and would like to become a Community Partner, please contact us.
