Summary of publication
Over the last five years Australia's regional aid program to the Pacific has focused on the following objectives: securing sustainable economic growth, building effective institutions, supporting healthy and resilient communities and empowering women and girls (outlined in the Aid Investment Plan (AIP) 2015-16 to 2018-19). This report summarises the performance of Australia's aid program in the Pacific Regional Program from July 2018 to June 2019 against these objectives at a time when DFAT is preparing a new aid investment plan.
The Pacific Regional Aid Program continues to make steady progress against AIP objectives. At the same time, Australian has committed to a more ambitious and intensified engagement in the region through the Pacific Step-Up (announced November 2018).
