DFAT launches the Office for First Nations International Engagement
Committing $12.6M over 4 years

The funding will help develop a pilot First Nations trade and investment advisory group, a First Nations Visitor Economy Partnership, establish support for the use of the intellectual property system to protect Indigenous knowledge, and nurture greater First Nations business participation through Austrade's programs and services.
First Nations People Ambassador, Justin Mohamed, is charged with informing the way Australia engages with the world and ensuring the government delivers its commitment to embed Indigenous perspectives, experiences, and interests into Australia's foreign policy, as well as work with the National Indigenous Australians Agency.

InDev's thoughts: Following the 'No' vote in the voice referendum, it is good to see DFAT continuing to invest in indigenous voices in Foreign Affairs.
From a development perspective, it will be interesting to see how the office continues to engage, building on the indigenous criteria already embedded in programs. Many of the roles the office will play according to DFAT are in people-to-people links, trade and diplomacy. The opportunity to draw on Indigenous knowledge for health, environment and culture offers a unique and powerful approach to impactful programs.

►► It’s time for humanitarians to tell a more realistic and hopefully story says Elias Sagmeister. The media amplifies the current gloom, mistaking fundraising calls for an accurate assessment of the humanitarian state of the world. It’s no wonder that public perception aligns: The world is in shambles, the assumption goes, and finding a way forward is more difficult. But the narrative of a world in greater humanitarian need than ever before is misleading and self-defeating. A closer look at global data reveals a more nuanced – and even a more hopeful – reality - https://bit.ly/42oe0Zr
►► Mohamed Ali Diini is demonstrating a new paradigm for international aid – one that acknowledges and leverages local expertise and agency. The potential implications are important: Whether it is in Somalia or Nepal or Syria, by trusting local organisations to know what their communities need, and equipping them to act on that knowledge, we can achieve more sustainable, effective, and responsive results - https://bit.ly/3u7ShIc
►► The Humanitarain Funding Gap is getting worse. As the need grows, and NGO's take on even more programs, many outside their humanitarian roles. But Fred Harter argues, change is slow - https://bit.ly/3S5NHlL

Last week we shared some statistics from the CID report, one of which was Uganda being the second largest receipt nation, which started a thread on priority countries for CSO's compared to ODA.

While both governments spend heavily in the Pacific and SE Asia regions, for both Australian and NZ public funding, Africa and the Middle East are the main area of interest. Is this reflective of the need? Good marketing from global NGO's with Live Aid and Make Poverty History?

Is this necessarily a bad thing? CSO's and governments should have different priorities. But, the difference is certainly interesting when speaking on areas of strategy and engagement.

DFAT released their consolidated Australia Awards facility last week, a contract flagged as around $250m worth. The contract brings together the Australia Awards programs to 'find harmonisation and increase engagement', among other things.
The trend of 9-figure contracts slowed during covid, but is picking up again now. Are $100 million+ contracts staying the norm? As the average value grows (except for covid years) is the trend of 'mega contracts' coming to Aus (like USAID and their issues)? Could this lead to further consolidation of contractors? Or is this just the reality of stretched government departments?

InDev’s goal is to help enhance the International Development ecosystem in our region, and one of the key steps in supporting and growing an ecosystem that creates impact is to understand who is involved. In Global Development, many of us are familiar with the areas that we connect with most, but may miss the massive impact, career opportunities or learnings that can come from across the whole ecosystem.

In our first step to helping build the ecosystem, we are so excited to release Version 1 of the InDev Australian Development Sector Map.
