Sub-Saharan Africa

Abstract

With continued consolidation in 2016-17, the bulk of Australia’s aid investments in Sub-Saharan Africa are directed to countries where we have strong national interest and are able to leverage results, predominantly in Eastern and Southern Africa. Australia Awards is our flagship program, supporting good governance and capacity building in the agriculture, extractives and public policy sectors, where Australia has expertise and the greatest potential to make a difference. This work contributes towards achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 8 (Decent Work & Economic Growth).
