Innovative Delivery Mechanisms: Australian Aid Partnership with Churches in Papua New Guinea

Journal of International Development, 2015, vol. 27, issue 8, 1462-1478

Abstract: The Australian Aid programme is currently valued at AUD5 billion. The majority of this aid flows to the Asia Pacific region with Papua New Guinea and Indonesia being the largest recipients. In addition to traditional delivery mechanisms—bilateral and multilateral—the Australian Government has piloted a small partnership activity with Churches in Papua New Guinea. This paper will consider this model and the benefit it brings. Possible extension of this partnership model to non‐Christian religious faiths in other countries, such as Islamic nationwide organisations in Indonesia, is also discussed. © 2015 UNU‐WIDER.
