The Australian Infrastructure Financing Facility for the Pacific (AIFFP) is a proud part of Australia’s commitment to the Pacific’s stability, security, and prosperity.
Through the AIFFP, Australia partners with governments and private sector in the Pacific and Timor-Leste to provide grant and loan financing for high quality, transformational energy, water, transport, telecommunications and other infrastructure.
Delivered by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), the Australian Infrastructure Financing Facility for the Pacific (AIFFP) became operational on 1 July 2019.
A $4 billion facility, AIFFP works with Pacific governments to plan, assess, and finance significant projects. Each project is rigorously evaluated to ensure compliance with DFAT’s values and guidelines, providing the best possible outcomes for the Pacific region.
Notable investments underway include port upgrades in Papua New Guinea, refurbishments to Nauru Airport, a solar facility and battery storage system in Palau, electricity grid expansion in Papua New Guinea, and the East Micronesia Cable for improved internet connectivity across the Federated States of Micronesia, Kiribati, and Nauru.
