Pacific Public Sector Linkages Program (Pacific PSLP)

The outcomes of the 2011–12 Round have been finalised.

See details of the approved concepts  

The next Pacific PSLP Round will open in early 2012.

The Pacific PSLP offers Australian federal, state and territory government departments, agencies and statutory authorities the opportunity to compete for grant funding that will:

  • transfer capacity building skills and expertise to public sector counterpart institutions in Pacific countries, Papua New Guinea and Pacific regional organisations
  • support strengthening of development-focussed public sector bilateral and regional linkages.

Grants are generally, but not necessarily, between $50,000 and $250,000 per annum. Activities must start in the current financial year and be completed within three years.

Activities funded

Activities must:

  • have a primary developmental focus
  • clearly identify sustainable benefits to the partner country(ies) or Pacific regional organisation
  • be planned and implemented jointly with the counterpart organisations concerned.

Activities will be delivered mainly in the form of technical assistance and training and can include:

  • institutional strengthening and/or capacity building in partner countries
  • short-term training in the partner country, Australia or the Pacific region
  • in-Australia secondments and work attachments
  • secondments of Australian staff in the partner country or regional organisation
  • applied policy research, feasibility studies and small projects (excluding basic research or capital procurement).
