The Southeast Asia and Australia Government-to-Government Partnerships program (SEAG2G) is a new initiative contributing towards Australia’s International Development Policy and Southeast Asia Development Partnership Plans. It will also contribute towards implementation of Invested: Australia’s Southeast Asia Economic Strategy to 2040. SEAG2G provides significant new resources to deepen and broaden relationships between Australian and Southeast Asian countries across four thematic priorities:
1. Climate change and energy transition
2. Education and skills
3. Sustainable agriculture and food security
4. Effective and inclusive public institutions
SEAG2G will support Australian agencies to engage with their Southeast Asian counterparts through two workstreams:
Workstream 1: Core Partners workstream: Multi-year support to a small group of AGE partners to work in one or more countries to deepen Australia’s relationships with counterparts and contribute to institutional change in one or more thematic priorities.
Workstream 2: Country level workstream. Demand-driven, smaller activities based on requests from Posts assessed and approved two times a year and to be delivered within a 12 to 18-month period.
The two outcomes of SEAG2G include:
1. Broader and deeper partnerships between Australian and Southeast Asian government institutions in targeted areas of mutual interest.
2. Southeast Asia Government Entities (SGE) improve policy and practice in identified thematic priority areas in support of economic and social development.
SEAG2G is led by DFAT’s Office of Southeast Asia, with DT Global as the managing contractor. The program will work across Australia and Southeast Asia.
