The three-tier performance indicator framework supports implementation of Australia’s international development policy. Tier 2 results are annual results directly attributable to Australian development efforts, organised against the four focus areas of the development policy, organised against the four focus areas of Australia’s international development policy and associated Performance and Delivery Framework: building effective and accountable states; enhancing state and community resilience; connecting partners with Australian and regional architecture; and generating collective action on global challenges.
To support data collection by partners, technical notes are available for relevant indicators below.
A three-tier framework was also used for reporting progress on the overall context, annual results and effectiveness of Australia’s COVID-19 development response efforts under Partnerships for Recovery.
Previous years’ Tier 2 results are available below.
