Advocacy Agenda May 2021
Australian Council for International Development
ELEVATE DEVELOPMENT TO THE HEART OF AUSTRALIA’S INTERNATIONAL ENGAGEMENT
1. PRIORITISE DEVELOPMENTElevate development cooperation to the heart of Australia’s foreign policy and statecraft, and ensure all foreign policy measures are contributing to human development outcomes.
2. BUILD THE BUDGETEstablish a bipartisan commitment to rebuilding the Australian development cooperation budget which includes a floor for Official Development Assistance (ODA) levels enshrined in legislation and with a budget trajectory that ensures levels reach the UN target of 0.7 per cent of Gross National Income (GNI) by 2030.
WALK THE TALK ON EFFECTIVE AND INCLUSIVE DEVELOPMENT
5. ACT NOW, THINK LONG-TERMEstablish a new, long-term development policy ahead of the expiration of the ‘Partnerships for Recovery’ Strategy. The new policy must address the root causes of: conflict; inequality; and barriers to achieving the development aspirations of national and local partners.
6. GO LOCALEstablish a roadmap for locally led delivery of Australian Development and Humanitarian programs. The roadmap must articulate proposed investments in local partners, engagement of diverse local actors, shifting of power and progressive removal of barriers to localisation.
7. BOOST TRANSPARENCYImplement the transparency priorities in the ’Partnerships for Recovery’ Strategy in line with its commitment to the ANU Transparency Audit, and ensure development and humanitarian expenditure decision making and reporting is based on evidence informed by partners, research, civil society and Government sources.
STRENGTHEN CIVIL SOCIETY
11. WORK WITH NGOSCo-fund the Pacific-led development of a Pacific Regional Accountability Framework for Civil Society Organisations, and endorse its use as a benchmark for NGO accountability. This will foster a vibrant civil society sector, and expand the diversity of high impact development partners for Australia.
12. INVEST IN CIVIL SOCIETY ABROADRe-orient the development cooperation program towards investment to and through civil society organisations abroad, including through establishing a civil society partnerships strategy to guide DFAT’s prioritisation, support and engagement with civil society.
TAKE HUMANITARIAN ACTION FOR THOSE IN GREATEST NEED
15. GLOBAL FOCUSAffirm a global focus for Australia’s humanitarian action, and a commitment to operating with the primary purpose of alleviating suffering wherever it is found, in line with the humanitarian principles.
16. LONG-TERM THINKING FOR PROTRACTED CRISESUse all tools of statecraft to prevent, respond to, and address the root causes of protracted crises, and finance all responses to protracted crises on a multi-year basis.
COMBAT CLIMATE CHANGE
19. PRIORITISE THE ENVIRONMENTIncentivise the delivery of environmental benefit through elevating the environment (and climate change adaptation) as a core investment in the development policy post COVID-19 strategy and allocating specific budget to nature-based solutions.
SUPPORT NGOS AS VALUABLE PARTNERS
23. ALIGN COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTSEmbrace opportunities to align compliance reporting processes and streamline NGO reporting requirements within the ACFID Code of Conduct and the ANCP. Move towards alignment of a due diligence assessment process for all DFAT funded activities.
ABOUT THE ACFID ADVOCACY AGENDAACFID’s advocacy connects, champions, and represents a dynamic network of international development and civil society actors united by our vision for a world where all people are free from poverty, injustice and inequality and the earth’s finite resources are managed sustainably.
ACFID advocates for a compassionate and high impact development cooperation program which is responsive to context and centred on partner country needs and international norms.
The Advocacy Agenda establishes current advocacy priorities through consultation with members and the broader ACFID network.
The Advocacy Agenda identifies six areas of focus and specific measures for each:
1. Elevate Development to the Heart of Australia’s International Engagement
2. Walk the Talk on Effective and Inclusive Development
3. Strengthen Civil Society
4. Take Humanitarian Action for Those in Greatest Need
5. Combat Climate Change
6. Support NGOs as Valuable Partners

It is time to rebalance development with other forms of statecraft as complimentary, powerful, and effective foreign policy means - and resource it accordingly to address the challenges of COVID-19 and beyond.
The pandemic is the single greatest peacetime catastrophe since the end of the Second World War. We are a country of the Indo-Pacific, and the social, economic, and political fallout in our region will be felt for decades to come. Its impacts are accelerating existing inequality and dramatically reversing human development and human security. This is particularly so for those already facing deep structural inequality – women and girls, people with disabilities, and other marginalised groups.
Principled and effective development can wind back the drivers of inequality and poverty by creating structural change. It increases stability, enhances resilience to external shocks, and builds strong and enduring people-to-people and Government relationships. It is a tangible and practical expression of our commitment to working with our neighbours to help tackle our region’s most intractable challenges.
However, for a number of years our engagement with the world - especially the development program – has remained undervalued and critically underfunded. Australia must reverse this trend to effectively engage with this radically changed world. This includes systematically addressing key areas of gender equity, disability and social inclusion, children’s needs, and strengthening human security in all forms of foreign policy.
ACFID CALLS ON THE GOVERNMENT TO1. Elevate development cooperation to the heart
of Australia’s foreign policy and statecraft, and ensure all foreign policy measures are contributing to human development outcomes.
2. Establish a bipartisan commitment to rebuilding the Australian development cooperation budget which includes a floor for Official Development Assistance (ODA) levels enshrined in legislation and with a budget trajectory that ensures levels reach the UN target of 0.7 per cent of Gross National Income (GNI) by 2030.
3. Invest in development expertise within the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and related development portfolio agencies.
4. Make the 10 per cent ($400 million) increase in total Official Development Assistance (ODA) in 2020-2021 permanent and recurrent. In addition to this, allocate a further $3.56 billion in new development funding over four years, which should include:
• An additional $500 million in 2021-22 to support global purchasing mechanisms for COVID-19 diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines;
• An additional $1 billion over for years to strengthen health systems in the Indo-Pacific;
• An additional $1.54 billion over four years to meet Australia’s fair share of global humanitarian finance in 2021 and beyond (as per ask 17);
• An additional $250 million over four years to work with South East Asian countries to strengthen social protection systems;
• An additional $19 million over four years to restore DFAT’s Central Disability Fund to $14.4 million per annum (as per ask 9); and
• An additional $250 million over four years for existing high impact programs which leverage and support the comparative advantage of NGOs and civil society organisations (as per ask 25).
As a result of COVID-19, the World Bank predicts that for the first time since 1998, global poverty will increase. We are at serious risk of losing the development gains of the last 50 years.
The pandemic has exacerbated existing inequalities as the impacts of the pandemic fall heavily on women and girls, and further disadvantage people with disabilities, children, and other marginalised groups. Our neighbours are seeing sharp declines in income, growth, and employment as vital international trade, tourism and labour mobility opportunities are disrupted.
While the ‘Partnerships for Recovery’ Strategy focuses on Australia’s response to COVID-19, the development program needs to be positioned to engage on the critical development challenges we know the countries in our region will face on the other side of this crisis. The development goals of our partner nations are long-term, and best served by consistent support and long-term strategy setting to address the root causes of poverty and inequality.
In placing a focus on partnership, Australia should listen to and invest in understanding the needs of its local partners – including local civil society - as the foundation of good development. In doing so, it should enable new ways of partnering, financing models, donor engagement and governance. Australia should commit to ongoing targeted investment in gender equality and disability inclusion, building on its track record and reputation in these spaces.
ACFID CALLS ON THE GOVERNMENT TO5. Establish a new, long-term development policy
ahead of the expiration of the ‘Partnerships for Recovery’ Strategy. The new policy must address the root causes of: conflict; inequality; and barriers to achieving the development aspirations of national and local partners.
6. Establish a roadmap for locally led delivery of Australian Development and Humanitarian programs. The roadmap must articulate proposed investments in local partners, engagement of diverse local actors, shifting of power and progressive removal of barriers to localisation.
7. Implement the transparency priorities in the ‘Partnerships for Recovery’ Strategy in line with its commitment to the ANU Transparency Audit, and ensure development and humanitarian expenditure decision making and reporting is based on evidence informed by partners, research, civil society and Government sources.
8. Increase investment in Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) programming – prioritising core, flexible support for civil society organisations by restoring $14.4 million per annum for DFAT’s Central Disability Fund and the 80 per cent target for direct and indirect gender equality investments.
9. Measure the success of the ‘Partnerships for Recovery’ Strategy based on impact for the bottom 60 per cent of the population by income in the Pacific, and the bottom 40 per cent elsewhere.
10. Leverage and share the successes of its pandemic response, particularly in keeping people out of poverty, by investing in building the capacity of partner governments to deliver proven inclusive social protection schemes, both in the COVID-19 response and recovery and in shoring up community resilience to future shocks.
In the wake of COVID-19, the Australian Government should elevate development cooperation to the core of Australia’s foreign policy and statecraft.
The Government should balance its focus on responding to the acute impacts of the pandemic with addressing the long-term, root causes of insecurity and instability and barriers to achieving development aspirations of national and local partners.
FOCUS AREA ONE
Elevate Development to the Heart of Australia’s International Engagement
FOCUS AREA TWO
Walk the Talk on Effective and Inclusive Development
ACFID6 ACFID7
In the face of increasing poverty, civil society is essential in creating transformational change and championing rights, inclusion, and development – all centred in the local context and communities. These groups include non-governmental organisations, community groups, faith-based organisations, trade unions, media, educational institutions, and informal groups that exist outside the sphere of the state and the market.
Civil societies are a cornerstone of regional stability and ensure that the voices of the marginalised – especially women and girls, people with disabilities, and children - are meaningfully included in the development initiatives that will affect their aspirations and well-being. But in order to undertake this role, civil society must be resilient, vibrant, and free to operate.
Yet, as highlighted in DFAT’s Incoming Government brief: ‘Increasing illiberalism, including rising human rights abuses, democratic backsliding and closing space for civil society risk impacting on the prosperity and stability of states in the region’. Civic space is closing, and only 3 per cent of the world’s population are living in countries where their fundamental rights are protected and respected. The rights of women and girls, and those experiencing marginalisation, are particularly fragile where the space for civil society to defend them is limited or shrinking.
At a time where there is an acute need to generate strong and enduring relationships between Australia and the world, Australia’s investment to and through civil society and civil society organisations abroad has been in consistent decline.
A failure to invest in the future of state-society relations in our region undermines development objectives and regional stability. It is also a missed opportunity to build critical people-to-people linkages between Australia and the region, build public support for our shared development efforts, and engage in a cost-effective manner.
ACFID CALLS ON THE GOVERNMENT TO11. Co-fund the Pacific-led development of a Pacific
Regional Accountability Framework for Civil Society Organisations, and endorse its use as a benchmark for NGO accountability. This will foster a vibrant civil society sector, and expand the diversity of high impact development partners for Australia.
12. Re-orient the development cooperation program towards investment to and through civil society organisations abroad, including through establishing a civil society partnerships strategy to guide DFAT’s prioritisation, support and engagement with civil society.
13. Performance measurement under the ‘Partnerships for Recovery’ Strategy and subsequent development policies must include accountability for engaging civil society as a cornerstone of a resilient and inclusive development program. At a minimum, this should include a civil society component in the design of all new development programs.
14. Increase the proportion of Australian ODA channelled to and through civil society to 20 per cent, for both humanitarian and development funding (this is commensurate with OECD averages but behind leaders such as Sweden at 40 per cent). This must be flexible, core, and multi-year funding.
COVID-19 has added a layer of adversity to people already in crisis, increasing the number of people who need humanitarian assistance by 40 per cent. In 2021, 1 in every 33 people in the world will require humanitarian assistance. Australia has a proud history of responding to both sudden-onset disasters, and protracted crises across the globe. The Australian Government must maintain its ambition to be a world-leading humanitarian donor, continue to increase and meet its fair share of humanitarian financing, and ensure its assistance prioritises those in greatest need.
In 2021 the highest humanitarian needs will remain in the Middle East and Africa. Over one third of all people requiring humanitarian assistance in 2021 will likely come from just four countries: Yemen, Syria, Ethiopia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Government’s decision to prioritise development assistance to the Indo-Pacific region must not limit the provision of humanitarian assistance globally, especially to countries where need is most acute or under-funded.
Humanitarian crises disproportionately affect women and girls, people with a disability, and marginalised groups, including those experiencing discrimination based on age, gender, sexual orientation, religion, or ethnicity. It is estimated that 70 per cent of all women in humanitarian contexts experience gender-based violence, compared with 35 per cent globally. Australia must continue to champion protection, gender and inclusion in its humanitarian programming, and support women’s leadership and the role of women’s organisations in humanitarian action.
Over one billion people, and more than half of all people living in poverty, live in countries experiencing protracted crises. It is critical that the Australian Government use all means possible (including political and diplomatic engagement) to prevent, respond to, and address the root causes of protracted crises.
At the World Humanitarian Summit in 2016 Australia signed on to The Grand Bargain – A Shared Commitment to Better Serve People in Need which commits signatories to implementing reforms to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the humanitarian system. In line with this commitment, Australia’s responses to protracted crises must be planned and financed on a multi-year basis. Australia should also engage in developing a new ‘Grand Bargain’ beyond 2021.
ACFID CALLS ON THE GOVERNMENT TO15. Affirm a global focus for Australia’s humanitarian
action, and a commitment to operating with the primary purpose of alleviating suffering wherever it is found, in line with the humanitarian principles.
16. Use all tools of statecraft to prevent, respond to, and address the root causes of protracted crises, and finance all responses to protracted crises on a multi-year basis.
17. Commit its fair share of humanitarian financing of at least A$861 million per year. This increase in humanitarian funding must come from an increasing Official Development Assistance program.
18. Commit to being a world-leading humanitarian donor, including through engaging in the development and implementation of a new ‘Grand Bargain’ for humanitarian reform in consultation with Australian and Global South civil society organisations.
In a more contested region, support for Governments and private sector must be balanced with greater support for civil society abroad. This includes supporting a Pacific-led regional standard, and a civil society partnerships strategy.
COVID-19 and its secondary impacts have intensified humanitarian needs globally. Australia must affirm a global focus for humanitarian action, ensure humanitarian assistance reaches those in greatest need, and take a multifaceted approach to addressing protracted crises. It should commit to promoting key humanitarian reforms and improving the effectiveness and efficiency of humanitarian action.

Take Humanitarian Action for Those in Greatest Need

Climate change will disrupt and reverse economic and human development. Our Pacific neighbours have reaffirmed climate change as the single greatest threat to the livelihoods, security, and wellbeing of the peoples of the Pacific. They have consistently called for global action to limit global warming to below 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. A person living in the Asia Pacific region is five times more likely to be affected by natural hazards than a person living elsewhere, and the impacts of climate change will exacerbate disaster risk and security in the region. Over-exploitation of ecosystems will constrain already vulnerable communities to adapt to climate change and increase vulnerability to disasters.
It is estimated that by 2030, climate change impacts will push more than 100 million people back into poverty. Climate change will have a greater impact on the poorest and most marginalised people around the world, in particular women and girls. Climate change will also drive intergenerational inequity. Many of the world’s poorest people directly depend on natural resources for their daily livelihoods and food security. Climate change compounds the global biodiversity crisis already affecting the health and integrity of the ecosystems upon which many communities and economies depend.
As the social and economic fallout of COVID-19 builds, the effects of a changing climate must remain at the forefront of global response efforts– and this moment should be seized upon to ensure climate-smart response and recovery measures that take a long-term view of social, economic and environmental wellbeing. A green recovery from COVID-19 supports people in our region to build longer-term social, environmental and economic resilience. It recognises that addressing poverty and inequality cannot be effective without addressing global climate and environmental impact.
In partnering to support stability and economic recovery in our near region, the Government must invest in ways that do not exacerbate the region’s greatest risk and threat. Nature-based solutions are conservation actions that deliberately focus on biodiversity benefits as well as human development benefits. Such action can help us to address challenges such as climate change; food security and disaster risk. Smart climate
solutions and nature-based solutions promise to benefit health, gender justice, energy access, stability, prosperity and protection of natural resources.
The Australian Government has committed to global and regional agreements (including the Paris Agreement, the Boe Declaration on Regional Security and the Kainaki II Declaration for Urgent Climate Change Action Now) to urgently address climate change. The Government needs to recognise that without a national ambition in line with the scale and pace of action necessary to help limit warming, the efforts to address climate change through our development assistance program will be undermined, as will our diplomatic relationships and international reputation and influence.
The Climate Council recommends that Australia will need to at least halve our emissions by 2030, and achieving net zero emissions as soon as possible, and by 2040 at the latest in order to avoid tipping the earth into a perilous future trajectory. The Government should lift its national ambition to meet this challenge.
ACFID CALLS ON THE GOVERNMENT TO
19. Incentivise the delivery of environmental benefit through elevating the environment (and climate change adaptation) as a core investment in the development policy post COVID-19 strategy and allocating specific budget to nature-based solutions.
20. Urgently develop a clear, effective and credible pathway to meet a target of net zero emissions by 2040, recognising the immediate impacts of climate change on our neighbours and other vulnerable regions.
21. Ensure that new, additional and transparently reported climate funding prioritises community driven responses that provide access for the most vulnerable communities in our region to adapt.
22. Enhance the commitment to mainstreaming climate change in the development program by ensuring 90 per cent of all new aid investments programs over $10 million incorporate climate change risk, impacts and opportunities.
To deliver on the ambition set out in the ’Partnerships for Recovery’ Strategy the Government must work with effective local organisations and those with deep relationships and expertise in the region.
Where the Government chooses to engage Australian delivery partners, it should capitalise on the high performance of Australian NGOs and their strong connection with the region. As COVID-19 first spread in 2020, Australian NGOs provided a uniquely rapid, localised, and well-coordinated critical support to communities across the Asia Pacific region. In many countries, the ability to do so was due to networks, knowledge, and relationships that have been built over decades.
The Australian NGO Cooperation Program (ANCP) has a 40-year track record as a civil society partnership that brings results, lasting impact, and enables testing of innovative responses to long term problems. DFAT’s own evaluation of the ANCP corroborates the effectiveness of the program’s approach. The 2015 review described the ANCP as “one of the best performing programs,” delivering 18.2 per cent of DFAT’s aggregate development results for only 2.7 per cent of the overall development program spend. The Government should look to further capitalise on this investment in the coming years, ensuring development assistance and humanitarian aid reaches those in need.
Yet, inefficient and unpredictable funding cycles undermine Australia’s position as a partner of choice and divert resources away from communities in need. Australian NGOs and their partners are constrained by overburdened budgets with duplicative grant and contractual due diligence and reporting, reducing opportunities to innovate, and ensuring engaging local organisations as true partners remains out of reach. To realise the value of a renewed investment in Australian NGOs and their partners, a fundamental rethink of these requirements in the delivery of the development program is needed.
ACFID CALLS ON THE GOVERNMENT TO
23. Embrace opportunities to align compliance reporting processes and streamline NGO reporting requirements within the ACFID Code of Conduct and the ANCP. Move towards alignment of a due diligence assessment process for all DFAT funded activities.
24. Leverage the comparative advantages of local and international NGO performance by allocating an additional $250m over four years to existing high impact programs such as the Australian NGO Cooperation Program, Australian Humanitarian Partnership and Water for Women.
The Australian Government should move beyond its existing environmental safeguards to more actively and effectively address climate change and ecosystem collapse, while seeking opportunities to make positive environmental and climate impact.
The Government should work to foster a vibrant NGO sector in Australia and expand the diversity of high impact development partners in the region. It should leverage the deep relationships Australian NGOs have in the region and remove barriers to enhancing effectiveness.
