The revised framework: “An Effective Aid Program for Australia Making a real difference—Delivering real results” was released last month.
Quick highlights include:
5 Strategic goals: saving lives, promoting opportunities for all, sustainable economic development, effective governance, and humanitarian and disaster response.
These goals are supported by 10 more specific objectives, which include public health through watsan; maternal/child access to health services; basic education; empowering women; food security (through ag productivity, infrastructure, social protection and opening markets); improving livelihoods (income, employment, entrepreneurship) of rural and urban poor, climate change, governance to deliver services, improve security, and human rights; and disaster preparedness.
Primary geographic focus: Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and East Timor.
Also increasing aid to South Asia and Africa and continuing to support international efforts in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
