The Australia Mekong – Non-Government Organisations Engagement Platform will support and facilitate change in the way AusAID and Non-Government Organisations (NGOs) do business to achieve a better quality aid program in the Mekong.

The platform is expected to commence in February 2013 and will run for five years. The platform implementation mechanism includes a role for an administration support provider. The proposed administration support provider will provide administrative support to AusAID country offices and NGOs to help lift the development effectiveness of their engagement and minimise the associated administrative burden.

The final version of the design document for the Australia Mekong – NGO Engagement Platform is provided for the information of prospective tenderers.
