In response to the Office of Development Effectiveness' Investing in Teachers evaluation report, DFAT supports multi-year studies of teacher development investments in three countries: Timor-Leste, Vanuatu and Laos.

The studies focus on addressing two questions from the Investing in Teachers report relating to the extent that Australian investments in professional development of teachers contributed to improved outcomes, and the conditions of success as well as lessons learned to inform future programming.

The Partnering for Strong Families (PSF) program aims to increase access to quality, integrated sexual and reproductive health, family planning and maternal and child health services in Papua New Guinea (PNG). The program is being delivered over two phases: July 2017 to June 2020, and July 2020 to December 2023.

The Australian development program is building a portfolio of mechanisms designed specifically to mobilise private finance towards development and climate outcomes in the region. 

Gender equality, disability and social inclusion analysis is the foundation for ensuring all DFAT investments are effective in reaching socially disadvantaged groups – by preventing unintended harm, exclusion, and further marginalisation, and by promoting their rights, equitable opportunities and benefits.
