P4A Program Background
The Australia – Pacific Partnerships for Aviation (P4A) program aims to improve the Pacific aviation sectors’ efficiency and effectiveness in organisational decision-making, governance, safety and reliability, and coordination to enable aviation to better contribute to sustainable development outcomes. It is recognised that the small populations, lack of economic diversification and geographic remoteness of the Pacific constrain its growth and international competitiveness. However, aviation’s intersection with tourism, trade, labour mobility, and access to critical services such as healthcare and education can enable Pacific growth and prosperity. P4A is a five-year Australian Government initiative implemented by DFAT and Adam Smith International.
P4A will be delivered through three key outcome areas, including (but not limited to):
A stronger enabling environment, including improved governance, regulations, policies, and plans that strengthen the Pacific aviation sector and reform unsustainable practices.
