Following a ten year evaluation of the Civil Society Challenge Fund (CSCF), Ministers have considered options for the future of the fund. The Secretary of State has decided that there will be no further funding rounds under this fund. The CSCF will close in 2015 after the completion of ongoing projects.
DFID recognises the important role that the CSCF has played in giving poor people a voice in decisions that will affect their lives. To maintain our support to this area of work the Global Poverty Action Fund programme objectives have been broadened to include some of the initiatives previously covered by the CSCF, which is no longer open for applications. The GPAF will now support projects focused on poverty reduction and pursuit of the MDGs through tangible changes to poor people's lives including through: service delivery, empowerment and accountability and work on resilience, conflict, security and justice.
