Summary of Publication
Partnerships for Infrastructure (P4I) is DFAT’s only Australian-led, region-wide ODA infrastructure program in Southeast Asia. It works with eight partner governments in the region and with ASEAN.
Since its inception, P4I has:
- supported more than 3,000 infrastructure professionals per year from across Southeast Asia to work with Australian counterparts and gain deeper exposure to each other’s infrastructure expertise
- provided 109 Australian organisations with a platform to engage and build relationships with 64 Southeast Asian counterpart organisations
- supported Southeast Asia’s energy transition and decarbonisation across seven countries and with ASEAN
- improved infrastructure financing strategies in Cambodia and the Philippines
- supported transport connectivity reforms in five countries and with ASEAN
- initiated telecommunications cooperation with Cambodia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam.
Further P4I results and impacts are outlined in the Partnerships for Infrastructure program update.
In 2023, DFAT commissioned a mid-term review of the current phase of P4I to inform directions and decisions on the future of the program.
The Mid-Term Review has enabled DFAT to address a number of operational issues and evolve the program through an iterative process of feedback, exploration of issues, and action to implement recommendations. As outlined in the management response, DFAT has accepted and is actioning all 20 of the review’s recommendations.
