The peer review puts forward ten recommendations that encompass Australian aid funding, effectiveness, policy coherence, capability and public and parliamentary engagement.
Australia ranked 28/32 on aid generosity (ODA as a share of gross national income, 0.19%) and 15/32 on aid volume (US$3.38 billion).
In 2021, the final year of the Morrison government, Australia ranked 21st on aid generosity and 13th on aid volume.
The aid components, worth around US$30 billion, would partially restore funding for global health programs, humanitarian aid, bilateral assistance and multilateral aid (with heavy conditionalities).
