"Australian Agency for International Development"

The Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) was the Australian government department responsible for managing Australia's overseas aid program, aimed at reducing poverty and supporting sustainable development in developing countries. It provided funding, expertise, and partnerships to improve health, education, economic growth, and governance globally. In 2013, AusAID was integrated into the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), which now handles Australia's international development efforts. Overall, the agency's goal was to promote stability, prosperity, and improved living conditions in partner nations through strategic aid initiatives.
