Governance

Australia is helping to build more effective and accountable institutions to deliver better outcomes for the Filipino people. Through our partnerships with national and local government leaders, academic institutions and civil society organisations, Australia also provides policy advice to the Philippine Government on issues that support the social and economic development of the Philippines.

Through the SaferKidsPH program, Australia supports the Philippines’ efforts to improve capacity of police and courts to detect, investigate and prosecute cases on online sexual abuse and exploitation of children, and ensure quality support services are accessible to vulnerable children and families.
