Australia's Overseas Aid Program
The Australian Government's overseas aid program advances Australia's national interest by assisting developing countries to reduce poverty and achieve sustainable development.
With its focus on the countries of the Asia-Pacific region, the aid program is an integral part of Australia's engagement in the region and a practical demonstration of our commitment to helping build regional stability and prosperity.
The aid program is also an expression of the conviction of the Australian people that it is right for Australia to help the millions of people, especially among our neighbours, whose lives are afflicted by extreme poverty.
The Government's overseas aid program is managed by AusAID, the Australian Agency of International Development, an administratively autonomous agency within the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade headquartered in Australia’s capital Canberra. The overseas aid program provides country specific financial allocations as well as global and multilateral funding mechanisms.
The key priority sectors for Australia's aid program in India are health, infrastructure, and water and sanitation; within these sectors the program gives particular attention to governance, environmental and gender issues.
