Submissions on a new international development policy

Public submissions

As part of the public consultation process for a new international development policy, the Government released a call for public submissions in 2019.

Thank you to everyone who contributed their views and ideas on the future of Australia’s international development cooperation. This input was considered in the development of Partnerships for Recovery: Australia’s COVID-19 Development Response.

You can find the written public submissions below. Further submissions will be progressively uploaded as they are reviewed.

We have also made available the submissions publication proces.
