New Partnerships for Development:
How do Australians work together to beat global poverty?


As the Australian Government commits to an enhanced aid program and to
working towards the Millennium Development Goals, there will be new
opportunities for wider engagement in reducing poverty and supporting
equitable and sustainable outcomes in our region and beyond.
Non-government organisations, business, the education sector, faith
groups, local communities, media, volunteers and others all have a part
to play. How can we best build new partnerships for development that
reflect the commitment of the Australian community to act on poverty and
development? How can we combine skills, ingenuity and resources here
with those in developing countries to create new opportunities and
generate solutions to the challenges ahead?

FEATURING
The Hon Bob McMullan MP, Parliamentary Secretary for International
Development Assistance as forum host and panellist.
