About Australian Humanitarian Partnership
The Australian Humanitarian Partnership (AHP) is a ten-year (2017-2027) partnership between the Australian Government and Australian NGOs.
Through the AHP, partners aim to save lives and alleviate suffering by supporting partner countries, local organisations and communities to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from disasters and other humanitarian crises.
The AHP meets these objectives by focusing efforts both in disaster response as well as disaster risk reduction (DRR) and resilience.
In disaster response, the AHP uses Australian Government resources to leverage NGO networks and expertise to deliver effective humanitarian assistance. In the wake of crises to which Australia is responding, the partnership selects the best placed NGOs to assist those in need, in the most timely, cost efficient and effective way.
In DRR and resilience, the AHP delivers the ten-year, AUD 100 million Disaster READY initiative across the Pacific and Timor-Leste. Using local, Pacific-based partners, Disaster READY supports Pacific communities and governments to better prepare for and respond to disasters. The program places specific emphasis on the inclusion of women, disabled people and faith based organisations in disaster preparedness. You can read more about Disaster READY here.
