Development research program

The AusAID Development Research Program (ADRP), valued at $2.3 million, will continue to strengthen the analytical foundations of the aid program by funding high quality and targeted research activities delivered by national and international partners. Priority areas of research will include economic growth, fragile states, HIV/AIDS and water management.

During 2005–06 the ADRP will fund a range of longer-term, institutional research partnerships with key development institutes. These research partnerships will allow the aid program to draw upon the significant pool of development research expertise available in Australia.
