Australian Development Gateway

The Australian Development Gateway (ADG) strives to support members of the development community in their efforts to reduce poverty and enhance sustainable development in the Asia Pacific region. The site has been created with participation from members of government, private, academia and non-government organisations. User feedback mechanisms have been incorporated to guide future directions of the site. The site is optimised for low bandwidth access to enable the widest participation throughout the Asia Pacific region.

Why AusAID is seeking partners

The Australian Development Gateway (ADG) provides a place for users to share and exchange high quality information on sustainable development and poverty reduction in a range of sectors currently agriculture, disaster management, education, enterprise development, governance, health, information and communication technologies, and water.

The ADG's main (but not exclusive) focus is on individuals and organisations working on development-related activities in the Asia-Pacific region. Our development objective is to help speed up decision-making and increase the probability that effective development solutions will be found.

The information and categorisation currently available through the Gateway was developed through initial user-needs workshops for each sector with participation from groups of development professionals from the public sector, private sector, and non-government organisations.

We are pleased with and proud of the quality and coverage of material currently available. However, AusAID is looking to the future, and feels that the best approach to meeting users' needs for quality and relevant material is to identify and work with partner organisations (and potentially, individuals) for each of the development sectors.

The partners we are seeking:

  • have an acknowledged expertise in the sector (or of a sub-sector);
  • have a self-interest in becoming a partner - ie, that their partnership role will support achievement of their own organisational (or personal) goals as well as those of the Gateway; and
  • are able to commit themselves to providing the time and personnel required to meet the Gateway's expectations of a partner.

The types of partners AusAID is seeking

There are a number of partnership roles that organisations or individuals can play:

  • information sector partners;
  • moderators for sectoral discussion forums;
  • people or organisations to host 'Ask the expert' sessions; and
  • content contributors.
