Develop and implement new fraud control and anti-corruption strategies for all major country and regional programs by July 2015
Status: Achieved
Fraud and anti-corruption strategies are in place for all major country and regional programs.
These strategies identify risks and potential incidences of fraud and corruption relevant to the delivery of Australian aid. They detail the controls and measures adopted to safeguard Australian Government aid program funding, and actions and initiatives to support country efforts to combat fraud and corruption. A full review of all strategies is scheduled for 2017.
This chapter summarises the performance of Australia’s country and regional aid programs. Key performance trends, selected results and areas for improvement are highlighted for programs, organised into four regional groups: Pacific; South-East and East Asia; South and West Asia; and Africa, the Middle East and other regions.
For country and regional aid programs, performance is assessed each year and published in Aid Program Performance Reports (available on DFAT’s website10). Judgements about performance are made against program objectives contained in Aid Investment Plans for each country or regional program, and expressed as one of three ratings: progress towards objectives is on track; progress is at risk (less than expected); or progress is not on track. The 2015-16 reporting period is the first time all programs have reported against program objectives set out in Aid Investment Plans, which were finalised and published in September 2015.

*No program objectives were rated as off track in 2015-16.
In 2015-16, performance benchmarks were identified for country and regional programs. Performance benchmarks, together with other monitoring and evaluation indicators, are used to assess progress against Aid Investment Plan objectives. Progress against each benchmark is reported in Aid Program Performance Reports (APPRs). Performance against objectives and benchmarks for individual country and regional programs is summarised by region below (see also discussion of performance benchmarks under strategic target six in Chapter 1).
