Bilateral partnerships
Australia's development objectives cannot be achieved working in isolation. Australia invests in effective partnerships with other bilateral donors to:
- maximise the impact, geographic reach and influence of our development activities
- learn from, and leverage, each other's experience and innovation to ensure best practice and results in program delivery
- prevent policy fragmentation and duplication of effort
- ensure the needs of the Indo-Pacific are effectively represented in international fora.
We work with other countries to promote sustainable economic growth and prosperity by focusing on:
- aid for trade
- humanitarian needs
- health services
- gender equality
- water, sanitation and hygiene
- infrastructure development
- leveraging private sector finance
