The AIR Partnership is entering a new chapter.
The Australian Minister for International Development, Anne Aly, recently announced at the High-Level Parliamentary Forum on SRHR on April 27, 2026, in Melbourne, Australia, the continuation and expansion of the Accelerating Investment in Women’s Rights (AIR) Partnership. This initiative by DFAT and four women’s funds—Pacific Feminist Fund, Urgent Action Fund, Asia and Pacific, Women's Fund Asia, and Women's Fund Fiji - is designed to increase resources for women’s rights organisations and human rights actors, and to advocate for stronger investments in gender equality across Asia and the Pacific
The announcement was later echoed by Ambassador for Gender Equality Michelle O’Byrne at the “Steadfast: Donors Standing with Indo-Pacific Movements” reception, held on the final day of the Women Deliver Conference.
A month after , we have signed agreements for the coming four years and continue to reflect on and revel in the power of genuine partnerships, collective action, and sustained investment in movements and locally led development.
