UK aid strategic funding (PPA)

Our global work

The total five-year PPA funding was worth £36.2 million. £29.9 million was allocated to our ongoing development work and £6.3 million to humanitarian work for conflict affected and fragile states. An additional £5 million was allocated from April-December 2016 to consolidate our work across our development and humanitarian work.

DFID scored our PPA programme an A+, evidence of the good work achieved over the funding period.

This funding enabled us to:

Improve our programmes to respond to communities’ needs and capacities through more adaptive and integrated programming. Partners and staff talk about the impact of the work in this film
Help communities to be more resilient and better able to respond to disasters and opportunities, as well as improve their health status through our health work.
Innovate and develop new tools and methodologies to measure our impact.
Strengthen our organisational systems, including how we monitor and evaluate our work, the development and roll out of a gender strategy, and a greater focus on inclusion ensuring that we ‘leave no one behind’.
Leverage more than £26m of additional institutional funding, allowing us to scale up our work.
Promote internal and sector-wide learning to inform global policy and practice around resilience, accountability, inclusion and climate change.

Examples of our impact

Community adaptation and women's empowerment

We worked with 11 partners in districts highly vulnerable to climate change and natural disasters in Bangladesh, to reach 24,459 women.

Behaviour change through faith leaders

Faith leaders can be hugely influential in challenging HIV stigma and gender-based violence.

Holding governments to account

In Nigeria, Malawi and Kenya we empowered communities to hold their governments to account and improve their health services.

Climate risks

Nicaragua is one of the countries most vulnerable to climate change in the world. Many communities rely heavily on agriculture and are vulnerable to the effects of flooding and droughts.
