Action on Poverty Limited
About
Action on Poverty (AOP) is an Australian international development organisation dedicated to empowering people to lift themselves out of poverty. They partner with local communities and organisations in Asia and Africa to implement sustainable solutions, focusing on long-term self-reliance rather than aid dependency.
Tips for Applicants
Action on Poverty primarily implements its own development programs through local partners in targeted countries. They do not typically have open grant application programs for external organisations or individuals.
Giving Philosophy
Action on Poverty believes in a 'hand up, not a handout' approach, fostering self-reliance and empowerment within local communities. They work collaboratively with local partners to deliver sustainable development programs that address the root causes of poverty, ensuring projects are community-led and culturally appropriate.
