This is pursued by focusing on two development outcomes: supporting private sector development and strengthening human development. The Australian Government’s development policy also aims at promoting prosperity, reducing poverty and enhancing stability.

- Building resilience: humanitarian assistance, disaster risk reduction and social protection
- Gender equality and empowering women and girls
