Australia's new development aid policy provides clear vision and strategic sense

Retrieved on: 
Tuesday, August 8, 2023

Today the government released a new international development policy to answer these questions.

Key Points: 
  • Today the government released a new international development policy to answer these questions.
  • It’s a bold document that puts development at the heart of Australia’s response to a challenging world.
  • It outlines a strong and unapologetic argument for development aid, even at a time when many Australians are feeling cost of living pressures.

Listening to the region

    • A key message of the policy is the importance of listening to Australia’s neighbours and concentrating resources on the issues that matter most to them.
    • This is achieved by “genuine partnerships based on respect, listening, and learning from each other” – not by a transactional approach.
    • This is presented as responding to the calls of our region and evidence of the accelerating climate crisis by increasing our climate investments and better addressing climate risks.

Key focus areas for a whole-of-nation approach


    The policy sets out four focus areas for development support:
    • This is in line with previous government messaging, including the Defence Strategic Review’s focus on a “whole-of-government statecraft effort”.
    • In the new policy, the importance of a whole-of-government approach is also stressed.
    • Beyond this, the new policy moves into a whole-of-nation approach to development that encompasses “all Australian entities engaging with the region”.

Aid is not charity

    • Contributing to our neighbours’ development is not a form of charity Australians should put up with by virtue of being a developed country.
    • When he became international development minister, Conroy laid out four arguments for development aid: security, economics, international relations and morality.
    • Credit is due to the government for providing a clear and galvanising vision of why development aid is crucial if Australia wants to influence the world around it for the better.
