The Australian Government will contribute $US5.5 million ($A7.3m) over the next three years to support the Development Gateway Foundation's work providing Internet solutions for more effective aid and strengthened governance in developing countries
Australia was a founding donor of the Development Gateway and is the largest contributor, and an Australian, Mark Fleeton, was earlier this year named as its CEO. The foundation says this second round of funding will provide continued support for all programs, including aid management tools, e-government programs, online communities of development learning, and support of country gateway portals providing web-related services for local development needs.
The organisation was launched as a World Bank program and became an independent non-profit organisation in 2001. It is supported by a diverse group of public and private donors.
A portion of the funds ($US0.5 million) will be directed towards the deployment of public procurement websites in the Asia-Pacific Region using the Development Gateway's Market platform, dgMarket. This is a system for online publishing of government procurement information such as tender notices, contract awards and bidding documents. According to the foundation, it enables major savings in government spending while giving companies greater access to tender opportunities at home and abroad.
