About the Funding Agency

DFAT Australia is a department of the Government of Australia that manages the government's international development and aid policies.

Cambodia

Cambodia has expanded roads, ports, power generation and special economic zones to support manufacturing growth and regional trade integration.

Laos

Laos prioritises infrastructure projects such as railways, roads, and hydropower to transform from a landlocked country into a regional transit hub in Southeast Asia. Investments enhance trade connectivity, energy exports, and economic diversification beyond agriculture. Financing largely comes from public funds, concessional loans, and foreign partners, notably China under Belt and Road initiatives. Debt sustainability, regulatory capacity, and environmental management remain key constraints for long-term infrastructure development.
