Description

UK Aid Match (UKAM) is DFID's fund for match-funding UK public donations to charity appeals. The first phase of the scheme was launched in July 2013 with a budget of 120 000 000 GBP. The aim of the programme was to achieve 'an informed UK public directing a portion of UK aid money, enabling NGOs to deliver more development results'. The scheme was open to any UK based CSOs to apply and funds could be used for interventions to reduce poverty in 26 DFID priority countries.

Following on from the successful of UKAM, UK Aid Match II (UKAM II) will be of higher value and will have an increase in the scope and reach of the previous programme by providing new ways to match public giving and diversify the organisations that are accessing matched funding.

The procurement for UK Aid Match II (UKAM II) is one for a fund manager service. DFID have 117 600 000 GBP to finance high-quality civil society projects aimed at poverty reduction in developing countries.
