AusAIDs geographic focus is on the Asia-Pacific region which makes sense given
that two-thirds of the worlds poor live in this region. This includes some 800 million
people who live on less than $1.30 a day. In addition to the Asia-Pacific Region,
Australia provides aid toAfrica, the Middle East and Central and South America.
In 201011 the Australian Government will provide $4.349 billion in official
development assistance (ODA), which represents 0.33per cent of Gross National
Income (GNI).

LATIN AMERICA
Australia is increasing its development assistance
to LatinAmerica, working in partnership with more
advanced countries such as Argentina, Brazil and Chile
to help poorer countries. For example, we are working
with Brazil to deliver agricultural assistance to Haiti in
the wakeof the devastating earthquake in February 2010.
Australia will also work with other OECD donors and
multilateral organisations such as the Inter-American
Development Bank. By joining forces with others,
Australiacan obtain good development results from a
relatively small investment.
