Australia is committed to high standards of transparency in reporting on the international development program.

Transparency promotes effective decision-making, public accountability and lasting change. We contribute to the open discussion of successes and failures among global partners as a critical step in achieving better outcomes and progressing the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.

Our data is clear and accessible

Australia launched AusDevPortal to make it easier to access data on Australia’s Official Development Assistance (ODA) investments, enabling greater visibility, accountability, and confidence in the program.

Phase one of the Portal offers searchable data on over 900 ODA projects supported by Australia in the 2022–23 financial year, representing $4.78 billion in investments across 122 countries.

The portal includes information such as:

• annual expenditure and total investment values
• geographic locations
• policy markers
• performance scores, and
• key documents like project evaluation and design reports.

Our data is reported globally

Australia's development program information is reported through the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI) as well as the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) Creditor Reporting System (CRS).

DFATs IATI files are accessible via data.gov.au. The IATI activity file reports key data and document links across individual DFAT ODA investments, and the organisational file reports aggregated program-wide data.

Our performance

The Performance and Development Framework (PADF) helps drive key reforms and improves the transparency and accountability of our development program.

This framework deepens our accountability to Australians and our partners through improved transparency and more timely and comprehensive public access to information on our programs and investments.

Broader and more detailed reporting on annual performance is included in the Performance of Australian Development Cooperation Report (PADC).
