The 2017 Australasian Aid Conference, in Canberra on Feb. 15 and 16, gathered representatives from government, NGOs, the private sector and research community to discuss and debate issues in aid, development and humanitarian assistance, both in Australia and globally.

Foreign Minister Julie Bishop’s address to the forum highlighted new funding for programs supporting sexual and reproductive health and improved data on gender and disadvantage, as well as the future direction for Australia’s aid program.
