Australia, Japan, and the United States are committed to working in partnership with the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), Kiribati, and Nauru to improve internet connectivity to these three Pacific nations by providing funding to build a new undersea cable.

Australia’s Basic Education Sector Transformation (BEST) Program in the Philippines (2010-2019) contributed to the most significant education reforms of the Philippine Department of Education (DepEd) in decades.
