Lead transformative change to improve accuracy and transparency in Tuvalu’s financial systems
Market Development Facility is a multi-country initiative which promotes sustainable economic development, through higher incomes for women and men, in our partner countries.
We connect individuals, businesses, governments, and NGOs with each other, and with markets at home and abroad. This enhances investment and coordination and allows partnerships to flourish, strengthening inclusive economic growth. MDF is funded by the Australian Government. It is implemented by Palladium in partnership with Swisscontact.
MDF has been examining the impact of feral pigs in Samoa since 2023, which are severe. Beginning in 2024, MDF supported trials on feral pig management measures in collaboration with the Scientific Research Organisation of Samoa (SROS) and the Samoan Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries (MAF). This includes a trial of Pig Brig traps.
MDF plans to work with the Government of Samoa and other organisations and individuals to trial additional feral pig management measures. This is likely to include trials of: (a) sodium nitrite baiting; (2) GPS tracking collars on pigs; and (c) electric fencing of commercial farms.

SUMMARY OF THE PROJECT
The CAPRED Facility is Australia's flagship bilateral economic development program in Cambodia. It focuses on economic recovery and resilience over the next four years, with a possible three-year extension.
The Facility supports Cambodia in implementing economic interventions and reforms to accelerate the country's economic transition. These interventions and reforms encourage productive and inclusive public and private investment, promoting a resilient, inclusive, and sustainable economy (RISE).
CAPRED interventions fall under three technical components: Agriculture Production; Agro-processing, Trade, Investment, and Enterprise Development; Infrastructure Development; and a cross-cutting component comprising Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI), as well as Climate Resilient initiatives and policy support. GEDSI is at the heart of all that CAPRED does.
