Summary of publication
The Australia – Vietnam Development Partnership Plan 2025–2030 (DPP) translates into action the development priorities Australia shares with Vietnam. It builds on over fifty years of development cooperation between our two countries and delivers on the shared ambitions and commitments in our Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. It sets out four agreed objectives, how we will work together to deliver on these objectives, and how progress will be monitored. It identifies where Australia can add value to Vietnam’s national development priorities and how Australia will work with other development partners, ensuring the Australian Government contribution to Vietnam’s development ambitions is well coordinated.
Purpose of the Development Partnership Plan
Australia’s International Development Policy (2023) presents a long-term vision for how the development program will meet the critical needs of our partners, and help lift people out of poverty through sustainable development. Australia will engage through 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 ODA as well as regional and global ODA and non-ODA development activities.
The DPP continues our focus on economic growth, skills and equality in line with Vietnam’s priorities presented in its Socio-Economic Development Strategy 2021–2030. It introduces a new focus on climate change, both adaptation and mitigation, and digital transformation. It continues to integrate social inclusion and steps up our integration of climate considerations into all facets of our development cooperation. The DPP renews and elevates our commitment to dialogue and engagement with a broader range of government and non-government actors. A genuine and respectful partnership underpins this DPP.
