South Asia PSLP The South Asia Public Sector Linkages Program (PSLP) initiative provides funding to departments of Australian Commonwealth, State and Territory governments and Australian public universities. Use of the funds gives these selected organisations the opportunity to transfer capacity-building skills and expertise to their public sector counterpart institutions in South Asian partner countries. It will also support strengthening of sustainable development-focused public sector bilateral and regional linkages and improved governance and management of their public sectors. The total value of this multi-country initiative is $11.1 million over 5 years, starting 2009-10.
