DFAT commissioned an evaluation of the Market Development Facility (MDF) in Timor-Leste to assess the impact of the program from 2012 to 2025 and inform the design of a new private sector development program.

The Australia-China-Papua New Guinea Trilateral Collaboration on Malaria and Health Security (TMP) ran for eight years: phase one pilot, 2016–2019, AUD 4 million; phase two (January 2020–December 2023), AUD 6 million; and a no-cost one-year extension to end-2024.

The purpose of this Mid-Term Review (MTR), covering August 2020 to December 2023, was to assess PATH’s progress towards achieving program outcomes, and provide recommendations to strengthen the Program, with particular focus on program relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability.

DFAT is now inviting proposals from Australian higher education providers, or a consortium led by an Australian higher education provider, to design and implement a new program: the Pacific Higher Education Partnerships Investment.

The Pacific Ocean Litter Project (POLP) is an A$16 million Australian development assistance funded project (2019-2027) that is administered by DCCEEW and implemented in partnership with the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP).

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) requests Activity Proposals for funding with eligible partners under the Australian Support for Pacific HIV Action (ASPHA) initiative.

Australian Support for Pacific HIV Action (ASPHA) is a new DFAT initiative aimed to support Pacific island countries to respond to rising rates of HIV. Through this initiative, Australia will support Pacific countries as they implement evidence-based, effective national responses, drawing on the tools and policy approaches that can help to contain HIV as a public health threat.
