CHAPTER 1Ombudsman's review

International cooperation

The Ombudsman’s international program continued during the year. Funding from Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID) programs supported the facilitation of specialist advice, training, technical assistance and support to the National Ombudsman Commission of Indonesia, the Thailand Ombudsman, and the Ombudsmen in the Cook Islands, Papua New Guinea (PNG), Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu.

The Commonwealth Ombudsman’s office is well placed to continue playing a key supporting role in developing and enhancing Ombudsman offices throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
