Australian Government development cooperation with Thailand

Australia’s cooperation with Thailand is delivered through regional programs including the Southeast Asia and Australia Government Partnerships Program, the Mekong-Australia Partnership, Partnerships for Infrastructure, and Australia’s ASEAN programs.  Australia continues to collaborate with Thailand to improve transboundary responses to development challenges in the region.  In addition, Australia provides small grants for development activities to support local communities and non-government organisations in Thailand through the Embassy’s Direct Aid Program.

Australian regional development program – ASEAN

Australia sees ASEAN at the centre of a stable, peaceful, prosperous and secure region, where sovereignty is respected, and all countries benefit from strategic balance. Australia’s investments in ASEAN, including the ASEAN-ACT program, are managed by the Australian Mission to ASEAN  in Jakarta, Indonesia.

 

Australian regional development program – Mekong-Australia Partnership

Australia works with Mekong partners in Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, and Myanmar to improve water security and climate resilience; prevent and counter transnational crime; enhance economic resilience and subregional integration; build leadership and skills through scholarships and masterclasses; and support inclusive development for a more equitable future. The Mekong- Australia Partnership program is managed by a team located  at the Australian Embassy in Bangkok, Thailand.
