Supporting Nauru's development and COVID-19 response

Australia's development assistance supports Nauru's efforts to strengthen economic resilience, health, education, and invest in climate-resilient infrastructure. During COVID-19, Australia pivoted its assistance to support Nauru’s economic and health response to the pandemic, including to strengthen health preparedness and enable transport connectivity.
