The research also provides an evidence base to evaluate the impact of our work and improve the quality of the Australian aid program.
We works closely with the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research and the Australian International Food Security Centre [external website] to fund research on how to improve food security by lifting agricultural productivity. We also work with other partner institutions to understand how we can improve food security, by improving rural livelihoods through strengthening markets and building community resilience by supporting social protection.
