Australia Assists End of Program Evaluation and Management Response 2022

Summary of Publication

In June 2022, DFAT commissioned an independent evaluation of the Australia Assists program to examine the effectiveness of the investment and achievement of outcomes; its efficiency and value for money; and its relevance.

The evaluation report was completed in December 2022 and includes a number of useful findings and practical recommendations to help inform the remaining months of implementation, as well as any potential new phase of investment.

DFAT agrees or partially agrees with all eight of the recommendations, noting that no decision has yet been made on the design or scope of a future program.
