Over the past 20 years, the Foundation for Development Cooperation (FDC) has developed a strong reputation for leadership in international development thought and practice in the Asia-Pacific region.
Through the vision and philanthropy of Bill Taylor AO, FDC was created in Australia in 1990 as an independent organisation to marshal and leverage the collective private sector, academic, NGO/community and government resources, know-how and will to alleviate poverty and disadvantage in our region.
FDC’s head office is in Brisbane, Australia. FDC has an Asia regional office in Singapore and a Pacific regional office in Fiji.
FDC is an independent Australian Foundation committed to enabling better development outcomes in the Asia-Pacific region through collaboration and innovation.
Our mission is to harness and leverage the collective skills, knowledge, resources and passion of organisations from across the public, private, NGO and academic sectors in order to alleviate poverty and disadvantage in developing nations in our region.
We achieve this by researching, piloting and promoting collaborative and innovative market-based approaches to international development.
