The new session of Australia’s federal Parliament is in full swing, and with it comes a range of new inquiries — 59 in total — that will impact the country’s decision-making on funding and policy, including on foreign aid.
The inquiries shed light on emerging political trends but are also a way for individuals and organizations, including nongovernmental organizations, to influence government policies including on foreign aid and international development. Anyone is entitled to make a submission, which is considered by the relevant committee as part of the inquiry process.
Devex delves into the inquiries to flag those the development sector should be keeping a close eye on.
