**The deadline for applications to [UK Aid Match](https://www.gov.uk/international-development-funding/uk-aid-match)
is in less than a fortnight: 31^(st) January.**

The Department for International Development’s UK Aid Match matches public donations
to charity appeals that work on international development issues, and seeks to support
the [Global Goals](http://www.globalgoals.org/) for Sustainable Development by financing
civil society projects focusing on poverty reduction in developing countries. It
also aims to provide opportunities for the UK public to engage with international
development issues and have a say in how a portion of the international development
budget is spent.

While it accepts all applications that tackle poverty by addressing the Global Goals,
it is particularly interested in proposals with a focus on the following areas:

 * addressing the immediate and underlying causes of malnutrition among children
   under 5 years and adolescent girls and women of reproductive age (including those
   who are pregnant or breastfeeding).
 * supporting DFID’s commitment to enable 24 million additional women and girls 
   to gain access to family planning between 2012 and 2020, using rights-based, 
   voluntary approaches
 * supporting the UK’s commitment to work together to stamp out modern slavery worldwide
