The Mekong-Australia Partnership aims to progress the goal of a more resilient and inclusive Mekong subregion that pursues joint solutions to shared and transboundary challenges. The second phase of MAP was announced by the Minister for Foreign Affairs at the ASEAN-Australia Special Summit in March 2024.  The MAP portfolio design document for the second phase sets out the context and rationale for the $222.5 million (2024-25 to 2028-29) investment.
