How are the Community Led Development programme funding requests assessed

When a Community-Led Development Programme partner makes a request for funding the assessment process will involve consideration of:

• alignment between the request for CLDP funding investment and the community or hapū vision, plan and desired outcomes
• contribution in support of the five core CLD principles
• direct community or hapū benefit and community or hapū support for the funding investment
• contribution to the long term sustainability of the community or hapū vision and desired outcomes
• any secured or potential co-investment or co-investment in kind
• the capacity of the community or hapū and/or their fund holder/backbone organisation to implement and manage the funding investment
• risks and options to mitigate these
• the quantum of Crown Funds available for the CLDP at the time of the request for funding investment.
