Summary of Publication
In June 2021, DFAT commissioned a review of the Australia Awards Papua New Guinea Program to assess progress towards its end of program outcomes. The review also assessed the program’s ability to adapt to an evolving PNG–Australia Partnership (including within the context of COVID-19), the appropriateness of management and implementation arrangements and the extent to which the program is demonstrating value for money.
The review found that the program has made varying degrees of progress towards its end of program outcomes. It found that, despite the challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, the program has adapted well to the needs of the PNG–Australia Partnership. Overall, it found that the program’s management and implementation arrangements are supporting effective delivery and that the program has demonstrated value for money.
DFAT welcomes the review findings and recommendations for the remaining two years of implementation and the design of the next phase of the program.
