Multilateral sectoral funds (sectoral funds) are a key aspect of Australia's Partnerships for Recovery strategy in response to the impacts of COVID-19, as they provide a single point through which pooled funding from multiple sources can be disbursed to achieve outcomes that would otherwise be more challenging to realise.
To complement and support our country and regional health programs, DFAT also supports global initiatives to improve development co-operation on priority health issues, and to increase the effectiveness of our health development program.
