@AsiaPacific4D Advisory Group’s @IDCC_Aus is hosting a session on #gender & #infrastructure at #AAC2022. #AP4D is kicking off consultations on #Australia as an infrastructure partner in #SoutheastAsia #Pacific. Get in touch if you’d like to be involved.

[AnnaVanVliet @anna_vanvliet]

#AAC2022 absolutely brilliant panel (thanks @IDCC_Aus) on locally led development. Key takeaways? It’s critical & very possible. Just listen to the examples given by panelists. Risk appetite is key & aid architecture needs to shift. @devpolicy @ANUCrawford @Asia_Foundation

[Melissa Conley Tyler @MConleytyler]

And my take on #Budget2022 is now up on @ConversationEDU, drawing on analysis from @devpolicy @ACFID @IDCC_Aus @devintellab https://t.co/wO73akYhHa

Proud to make a significant contribution to supporting the world's poorest countries through this critically important vehicle. Credit to @JEChalmers for this move which will be a force multiplier as the Albanese Govt rebuilds Australia's international development program.

[ACFID @ACFID]

Congratulations to Australia's new Ministerial team for #ForeignAffairs and #InternationalDevelopment - @SenatorWong, @PatConroy1 & @TimWattsMP. We welcome the Government's commitment to rebuilding Australia's International Development Program.

[Tim Watts MP @TimWattsMP]

It’s an incredible honour to play any role in a Labor government, but I’m especially thankful to @AlboMP for giving me the opportunity to serve as the Assistant Minister for Foreign Affairs under one of the giants of our party, @SenatorWong.

I can’t wait to get to work.

[IDCCommunity @IDCC_Aus]

Congratulations on your appointment @PatConroy1 - the IDCC looks forward to working with you to deliver high quality, impactful aid programs.

[Pat Conroy MP @PatConroy1]

A real privilege to take on the role of Minister for Defence Industry & Minister for International Development and the Pacific. Both areas are critical to Australia’s security & the peace & prosperity of the nation, our broader region & the world. We have much to repair.
