Program Background

The Southeast Asia and Australia Government Partnerships program (SEAG2G) supports a shared vision for a peaceful, stable and prosperous region. Government partnerships facilitate connections between public institutions across Southeast Asia and Australia to share knowledge and build policy and technical capability between trusted peers. Through deeper collaboration, governments can tackle shared challenges and create enduring, inclusive opportunities for economies, the climate and our diverse and vibrant communities.

SEAG2G provides resources to deepen and broaden relationships between Australian and Southeast Asian countries across four thematic priorities:

1. Climate change and energy transition

2. Education and skills

3. Sustainable agriculture and food security

4. Effective and inclusive public institutions

The two outcomes of SEAG2G include:

1. Broader and deeper partnerships between Australian and Southeast Asian government institutions in targeted areas of mutual interest.

2. Southeast Asia Government Entities improve policy and practice in identified thematic priority areas in support of economic and social development.

Gender equality, disability and social inclusion (GEDSI) are important priorities for SEAG2G. The program’s approach to GEDSI seeks to ensure that people in all their diversity benefit from SEAG2G activities through the identification and addressing of key GEDSI issues relevant to the program’s sectoral themes and activities.

SEAG2G is led by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) Office of Southeast Asia, with DT Global as the managing contractor. The program works across Australia and Southeast Asia.
