The Australia – Africa (Regional) Development Partnership Plan 2025–2030 (DPP) translates into action the development priorities Australia shares with African countries. The DPP sets out agreed objectives, how we will deliver shared outcomes, and how progress will be monitored. It also identifies where Australia can add value to the national development priorities of African countries and the region more broadly, and how Australia will work with other development actors, ensuring the Australian Government contribution to African development ambitions is well coordinated.
Purpose of the Development Partnership Plan
Australia’s International Development Policy presents a lo a long-term vision for how the development program will meet the critical needs of our partners, support sustainable development and help lift people out of poverty. Australia seeks 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 regional Official Development Assistance (ODA) as well as significant bilateral and global ODA. A commitment to ongoing dialogue and engagement with government and non-government actors in support of a genuine and respectful partnership underpins this DPP. A mid-cycle review of the DPP will be undertaken. The DPP’s objectives respond to the development priorities of African countries. Australia will increasingly focus on climate resilience and food security across the continent.
