Australia-SPC Partnership Evaluation 2022

Summary of publication

In 2014 the Government of Australia and the Pacific Community (SPC) established a ten-year Partnership to better articulate how we would work together for the benefit of the Pacific. The Partnership was underpinned by flexible, predictable multi-year core funding to SPC.

This independent evaluation was commissioned to assess the effectiveness and impact of the Partnership, which is due to conclude in December 2023. The evaluation found the Partnership significantly strengthened SPC’s institutional capabilities, drove reform of the organisation, and increased SPC's focus on gender inclusion. The report considered the Partnership represented value for money, delivering a wide scope of activities effectively and efficiently. The evaluation's findings will inform negotiations on the next Partnership between the Government of Australia and SPC over the course of 2023.
