Development Policy Centre

The 2025 Australasian AID Conference was held on 3-5 December at ANU in Canberra, Australia. Check out the recordings.

The Development Policy Centre (Devpol) is a think tank for aid and development serving Australia, the region, and the global development community. We undertake independent research and promote practical initiatives to improve the effectiveness of Australian aid, to support the development of Papua New Guinea and the Pacific island region, and to contribute to better global development policy. Our discussion papers, policy briefs and reports make our research available for all. Our events are fora for the dissemination of findings and the exchange of information and ideas. The Devpolicy Blog is our platform for analysis, discussion and debate. We are part of the Crawford School of Public Policy at The Australian National University.

We are the hosts of the Pacific Update, PNG Update and Australasian AID Conference events.
