The Australian Humanitarian Partnership (AHP) is a ten-year (2017-2027) partnership between the Australian Government and Australian NGOs.

 

Through the AHP, partners aim to save lives and alleviate suffering by supporting partner countries, local organisations and communities to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters and other humanitarian crises.

About AHP

The AHP focuses efforts on disaster response, as well as disaster risk reduction (DRR) and resilience

In disaster response, the AHP uses Australian Government resources to leverage NGO networks and expertise, to deliver effective humanitarian assistance.

For each response, the partnership selects the best placed NGOs to respond to those in need, in the most timely, cost efficient and effective way.

In disaster risk reduction and resilience, the AHP delivers the Disaster READY initiative across the Pacific and Timor-Leste.
