Development Cooperation Cuba-Australia The Development Cooperation Cuba-Australia initiative supports a broad development partnership with Cuba in both the Pacific and Haiti. In the Pacific, it funded a joint Cuba-Australia scoping mission to support medical cooperation in the Pacific and then an MOU arising out of the scoping mission. In Haiti, the initiative originally supported the operational costs of the Cuban Medical Brigade for a three-month period. It then funded: waterproofing the roofs of three Community Hospitals, constructive maintenance of 23 Community Hospitals and 19 Health Centres, and electricity generation for 23 Community Hospitals. The total value of this initiative is $3.0 million over 4 years, starting 2010-11.
