The Tautua Program has partnered with eight CSOs through direct funding and partnership agreements, using a ‘grants plus’ model that combines financial support with institutional strengthening. This includes funding for operations, training, mentoring, and shared learning. All CSOs undergo due diligence aligned with DFAT’s framework, with ongoing support to ensure compliance.
