African-Australian Communities Program (AACP) Round 1 - African Village

Overview

The Australian Government is inviting one organisation through a closed non-competitive selection process to apply to deliver services under Program 2.5 – Multicultural Affairs and Citizenship over 4 years from 2025–26 to 2028–29. The objectives of the AACP are: to bolster the capacity of African-Australian community groups to deliver both settlement and mainstream services to their communities to provide funding for key organisations in those states and territories with significant sized African communities for initiatives that complement and leverage existing state- and territory initiatives. The intended outcomes of the AACP are: to support African-Australian communities to further their participation, integration and sense of belonging in Australia and enhance community cohesion. Through the AACP Round 1 African Village grant opportunity, funding will be provided to support and expand the African Village project in order to: provide a safe place for the African-Australian community; and support individuals, families and schools with locally designed and structured activities to make sure young African-Australians at risk are supported at an early stage.
