Sectoral breakdown
Australia’s aid is delivered across a range of sectors including governance, health, education, rural development, infrastructure, and humanitarian assistance. Diagrams 3 and 4 illustrate the estimated sectoral breakdown for 2005–06.
In 2005–06, governance will continue to be a particular priority
for the aid program. Governance — including improved economic
and financial management, strengthened law and justice, increased
public sector effectiveness, development of civil society and strengthened
political systems — is an essential foundation for development.
In
2005–06, an estimated $885 million will be expensed on activities
directly relating to these five areas, and it is estimated that
a further $292 million will be expensed on governance through other
priority sectors, such as planning and management of basic service
delivery (see Diagram 4).
Diagram 5 illustrates the estimated sectoral breakdown for the governance sector in 2005–06. Detailed sectoral breakdowns for the health and education sectors are included in the Appendix, in Diagrams 14 and 15.
