Headline: Aid Investment Priorities – sharpening our focus
New Zealand Aid Programme Investment Priorities 2015-19 outlines how we will focus our aid, capability and policy engagement around 12 priorities to deliver sustainable development and reduce poverty in partner countries.
The 12 priorities reflect where New Zealand’s aid can have the greatest impact. They include Agriculture and Renewable energy as flagship priorities where we have recognised expertise and leadership. Information and communications technology is signalled as a new investment priority, recognising the growing importance of connectivity for sustainable development.
In the Pacific we will deliver within all 12 priorities. Outside the Pacific, we will target investment within four proprieties, and respond to humanitarian emergencies.
The publication also outlines the specific medium and long-term outcomes we seek for each priority, and the measures to evaluate this.
This is the companion publication to the New Zealand Aid Programme Strategic Plan 2015-19.
We see this as a useful resource for the partners we work with and people with an interest in New Zealand’s aid.
