The opportunity
Australian Infrastructure Financing Facility for the Pacific Support Unit
The Australian Infrastructure Financing Facility for the Pacific (AIFFP) is Australia’s largest and most significant infrastructure investment in the Pacific. This $4 billion infrastructure initiative is actively engaging with countries in the region to significantly boost Australia’s support for infrastructure development in Pacific countries and Timor-Leste. The Facility uses grant funding combined with loans to support the development of high priority, quality infrastructure.
The AIFFP has contracted Tetra Tech to manage the Support Unit (SU). The SU is designed to provide AIFFP with timely responsive, flexible, and efficient expertise to support effective design and implementation of investments to meet the AIFFP’s objectives. The SU should enable the AIFFP to make informed decisions, comply with DFAT and AIFFP policy and deliver quality impacts that maximise development impact. Coordinating delivery of a number of Australia’s development activities through one SU delivery team is intended to enhance coherence between activities, mainstream cross cutting issues, create efficiencies of administration, contracting and management processes, and enable knowledge sharing and actions on lessons learned. Through this innovative approach, stronger development results are expected for the people of the Pacific and Timor Leste.
