Australian Humanitarian Partnership Phase II Investment Design Document
The Australian Humanitarian Partnership (AHP) is a ten-year (2017-2027) partnership between the Australian Government (Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade) and Australian Non-Governmental Organisations (ANGOs), comprised of two five-year phases.
This Investment Design Document will guide the AHP through its second phase, from 2022-2027.
In line with the positive findings of the 2020 Mid-Term Evaluation of the first phase, the fundamental high-performing features of the AHP will be continued into Phase II. The program will also build on lessons learnt to:
promote a stronger whole-of-program and partnership approach;
strengthen the focus on localisation and resilience;
better leverage the comparative advantage of ANGOs and their cooperation with other stakeholders; and
incentivise innovation and collective effort to improve performance and influence others.
The goal of the AHP Phase II is:
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.
The expected End of Program Outcomes are:
Women, youth, children, people living with disabilities and other at-risk groups, are better prepared for and more resilient to disasters and climate change, in selected Pacific countries and Timor-Leste.
Affected populations, particularly women, people living with a disability and other at-risk groups, benefit from timely, high quality and locally led humanitarian assistance that meets priority needs appropriate to the context.
AHP Partners and other humanitarian stakeholders in Australia and the region strengthen policy and practice through collaboration and lessons learnt.
