About the Australian Humanitarian Partnership: Disaster Ready  

 

The Australian Humanitarian Partnership (AHP) is a five-year (2017-2022) partnership between the Australian Government and Australian NGOs. Through the AHP, partners aim to save lives, alleviate suffering and enhance human dignity in the face of conflict, disasters and other humanitarian crises.

 

The AHP meets these objectives by focusing efforts both in disaster response as well as disaster preparedness. In disaster preparedness, the AHP delivers the AUD 50 million Disaster READY (DR) initiative across the Pacific (Fiji, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea) and Timor-Leste. Using local, Pacific-based partners, Disaster READY supports Pacific communities and governments to better prepare for and respond to disasters. The program places specific emphasis on the inclusion of women, disabled people and faith based organisations in disaster preparedness.
