Description

The ASEAN-Australian Development Cooperation Program (AADCP) covered the six year period 2002-08 at a cost of A$45 million with the goal of promoting sustainable economic and social development and integration within the ASEAN region. Australia and ASEAN agreed that the AADCP should focus on addressing development challenges that were regional in nature, requiring regional solutions and which strengthened ASEAN as a regional group.

The AADCP comprised three separately designed and contracted components. The Program Stream (PS) comprised a number of pre-selected and designed projects; the Regional Partnerships Scheme (RPS) was designed as a responsive facility allowing ASEAN and Australian proponents to submit proposals for activity funding; and the Regional Economic Policy Support Facility (REPSF) was also designed as a responsive facility to address emerging ASEAN demands for action orientated economic policy analysis.
