About us
The Development Policy Centre (Devpolicy) is a think tank for aid and development serving Australia, the region, and the global development community. We undertake independent research and promote practical initiatives to improve the effectiveness of Australian aid, to support the development of Papua New Guinea and the Pacific island region, and to contribute to better global development policy. We were established in September 2010 and are based at Crawford School of Public Policy in the College of Asia and the Pacific at The Australian National University. Our publications, discussion papers, policy briefs and reports make our research available for all. Our events are fora for the dissemination of findings and the exchange of information and ideas. The Devpolicy Blog is our platform for analysis, discussion and debate.

“Pacific communities have often been portrayed in museums and galleries through a limited, historicised lens, typically represented by archival materials or black and white photographs of unnamed people from the distant past,” say Kaya Barry and Robert Mason from Griffith University. “Now, two current exhibitions showcase the stories of contemporary Pacific communities, giving voice and agency to the experiences of labour and migration that connect Australia with the Pacific region.” https://lnkd.in/gM_cuDar

"The IMF is calling for fiscal consolidation (cutting spending) in response to the revenue issues [in Vanuatu]," says Peter Judge. "Somehow, they have not learnt from their own long and disastrous history what awful policy this is." "Following this advice has already caused major issues in the past six months in Kenya, Ghana, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh, and no-one can seriously argue that the government is spending enough to deliver the most basic services." https://lnkd.in/gwCeSYqv

“To date, it has been challenging to accurately estimate the pervasiveness of tax evasion in Indonesia and identify the types of taxpayers more likely to evade,” say Christopher Hoy, Filip Jolevski and Anthony Obeyesekere from The World Bank. “In a new study, we implement a ‘double list experiment’ which indirectly reveals the depth and breadth of tax evasion in the formal sector of the Indonesian economy.” https://lnkd.in/gCmf-ARB

“Kieran Donaghue’s novel, Praying for Sunlight, Waiting for Rain: a New Guinea Story, is a compelling story about a young Lutheran missionary couple in the central highlands of New Guinea from 1933 to 1943,” says Irene Wettenhall. “He has brought this interest and experience in the big existential questions of philosophy and development – in particular, the nature of belief and the concept of progress – to this finely executed work of fiction.” https://lnkd.in/gvpP5rng

“Upon comparing the estimated calorie intake reported by surveyed households with a minimum calorie threshold based on PNG body stature, we found that only 45% of households consume a daily calorie amount that meets the recommended calorie threshold for a lightly active individual,” say Emily Schmidt and Rishabh Mukerjee. “An even smaller share of the survey sample (35%) meets the recommended calorie intake for a moderately active individual.” https://lnkd.in/ghAZzFfT
