Australia’s Market Development Facility (MDF) helps countries in the Indo-Pacific region to grow through improved productivity, economic diversification, competitiveness and trade. 

MDF helps business partners and government to identify markets that have high potential to grow, be profitable, and deliver social and environmental value. 

Our aim is to do good by supporting good business. MDF supports business investment and innovation that reduces poverty, economically empowers women and combats climate change. We currently operate in Fiji, Timor-Leste, Samoa, Vanuatu, Tonga and Sri Lanka.

MDF is funded by the Australian Government. It is implemented by Palladium, in partnership with Swisscontact. 

To enable effective CRC management and implementation, CRCSU plans to scope, develop and implement an interactive Management Information System (MIS) to facilitate, day-to-day operations, analysis and dissemination of data to DFAT and other key stakeholders as well as support efficient management and implementation of the CRC and CRCSU.
