The Australia–Philippines Development Partnership Plan 2024-2029 (DPP) translates into action the development priorities Australia shares with the Philippines. The DPP reflects the principles and priorities agreed in the Philippines-Australia Strategic Partnership and supports the priorities presented in the Philippine Development Plan 2023-2028.
The DPP sets out agreed objectives, including how we will work together to deliver shared outcomes, and how progress will be monitored. It also identifies where Australia can add value to the Philippines' national development priorities and how Australia will work with other development actors, ensuring the Australian Government contribution to the Philippines' development ambitions is well-coordinated.
Purpose of the Development Partnership Plan
Australia's International Development Policy presents a long-term vision for how the development program will meet the critical needs of our partners, support sustainable development and help lift people out of poverty. Australia seeks relationships based on respect and partnerships that create economic and social value for us all. To achieve this, Australia supports our partners to:
- build effective, accountable states that drive their own development
- enhance state and community resilience to external pressures and shocks
- connect with Australia and regional architecture
- generate collective action on global challenges that impact us and our region.
The DPP reflects the full spectrum of Australia's development support – Australian Government bilateral Official Development Assistance (ODA) as well as significant regional and global ODA and non-ODA development activities. A commitment to ongoing dialogue and engagement with government and non-government actors in support of a genuine and respectful partnership underpins this DPP. A mid-cycle review of the DPP will be undertaken.
