The Albanese Government is supporting vulnerable communities in more than 50 countries through longstanding partnerships with Australian non-government organisations (NGOs).
Australia will provide $143 million in funding for the Australian NGO Cooperation Program (ANCP) this year.
Minister for International Development, Dr Anne Aly, said the investment will enable more than 60 accredited Australian NGOs to deliver over 340 projects to improve health, education, food security and infrastructure in local communities.
"We're proud to support the life-changing work that Australian NGOs do to improve livelihoods and outcomes for people around the world," Dr Aly said.
"Whether it's safer evacuations in Vanuatu, new income streams for families in Ethiopia, or expanding women's economic opportunities across the Pacific – the results speak for themselves.
"Strong partnerships with NGOs help communities build resilience in their own way. These projects aren't just programs on paper – they deliver real, lasting benefits for women, families and entire communities."
Now in its 51st year, the ANCP continues to strengthen Australia's partnerships with trusted organisations delivering practical, locally led development outcomes.
Guided by the International Development Policy, Australia's aid program is a vital tool of national statecraft to help build a more peaceful, stable and prosperous region – and world.
