Areas of Interest
Poverty, sustainability

What they do
The purpose of the Australian Government’s aid program is to promote Australia’s national interests through contributing to economic growth and poverty reduction. The best way to reduce poverty is to promote sustainable economic growth. The aid program will have a much stronger focus on promoting economic growth than it has in the past. The Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) will use more of Australia’s aid funding to expand trade in the Asia Pacific region, create jobs, build skills, boost incomes, reduce economic insecurity, and empower women and girls. The aid program will contribute to Australia’s broader economic diplomacy efforts to deliver greater prosperity for Australia, its region, and globally.
