Description

AusAID's Civil Society Engagement Framework (CSEF) provides a structure for Australia's engagement with civil society, in Australia and overseas, and links increased funding for civil society organisations (CSOs) to their effectiveness, capacity and relevance to Australia's development interests. The framework sets out how Australia will work more effectively with CSOs to increase the impact of aid on the world's poorest.

The Australian Government seeks to improve development impact by linking increased funding to CSO effectiveness, capacity and relevance to Australia's aid objectives, by consistently tracking and reporting results and by promoting better practice approaches. AusAID is seeking to develop a methodology to assess the effectiveness of CSOs, to inform its approach to increased funding to CSOs.

This document will form the basis of consultations with internal and external stakeholders.
