Background to the FundThe Disarmament Education United Nations Implementation Fund (DEUNIF) was established in 2004 by the New Zealand government to assist New Zealand non-government organisations (NGOs) in the implementation of the 2002 Report of the Secretary-General, United Nations Study on Disarmament and Non-Proliferation Education.
The Public Advisory Committee on Disarmament and Arms Control (PACDAC) reviews DEUNIF applications and makes funding recommendations to the Department of Internal Affairs. DEUNIF grants are administered by the Department of Internal Affairs.
The Minister for Disarmament and Arms Control chairs PACDAC, which is comprised of eight New Zealand peace and disarmament experts. PACDAC is also responsible for making decisions on the grants from the Peace and Disarmament Education Trust. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade acts as the secretariat for PACDAC.
PACDAC members (as of November 2009):
Minister for Disarmament and Arms Control, Hon Georgina te Heuheu (Chair)
David Capie
Graham Fortune
Richard Northey
Richard Randerson
James Veitch (Deputy Chair)
