Program Background

Partnerships for Infrastructure (P4I) is the Australian Government’s flagship infrastructure initiative for Southeast Asia. It partners with Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Vietnam and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to foster inclusive growth through sustainable economic infrastructure (i.e. transport, energy, telecommunications, and utilities). Phase 1 of P4I will run from 2021 to December 2025, with Phase 2 currently in the design process and due to begin early 2026.

Delivered through a single cohesive team, the initiative is led by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in collaboration with EY, Adam Smith International, The Asia Foundation and Ninti One. The Program’s Head Office is in Bangkok.

P4I focuses on infrastructure prioritisation and planning, policy and regulation, procurement, and project preparation (P4I does not finance infrastructure delivery). All services address gender equality and social inclusion, disaster risk reduction and climate change issues. P4I can respond to rapid requests but aims to develop longer-term infrastructure engagement.

The Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change (DRRCC) team leads the advice and quality assurance of low carbon and disaster/climate resilience integration into over 100-plus energy, transport, public investment management and telecommunications activities. The team is located in Bangkok and across the region, drawing down on technical climate and disaster specialists utilised to support high-volume technical inputs into activities.

Further information about P4I is available at www.partnershipsforinfrastructure.org

Reporting to the National GEDSI Lead and collaborating with the SPRING Program team, the GEDSI Officer will provide essential technical and operational support to the National GEDSI Lead in developing technical advice and recommendations for key implementing partners such as DSWD, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), and other relevant stakeholders. This role will focus on supporting the National GEDSI Lead in delivering policy and technical assistance to relevant implementing partners to promote inclusion and gender equality, improve the responsiveness of delivery systems and enhance gender responsiveness in strengthening social protection systems.
