Making every drop count: Water and Australian aid (pdf 305K)

Making every drop count: Water and Australian aid is a new policy to guide water-related assistance within the Australian overseas aid program.

Water is essential for economic growth and poverty reduction. Inadequate access to water for human consumption, agriculture and other needs threatens health, productivity and environmental sustainability in our region.

 This publication outlines the Government's strategy to assist developing country partners in the sustainable management and development of water resources and services. It focuses on water governance and service delivery, emphasising the application of Australian knowledge and expertise to water challenges in the Asia Pacific region.
