About PDP

PDP Australia Pty Ltd (PDP) is a leading international economics and governance consultancy based in Sydney, Australia. Since our establishment in 1988, we have worked in a wide range of economic and political settings.

Our approach is to help build better governance institutions and to work collaboratively to strengthen the impact of public policy in order to reduce poverty in emerging market economies.

We work with governments, the private sector, multilateral and bilateral institutions, and community based organisations to help transform institutional performance. We focus on building more efficient, effective and transparent institutions that are able to sustain performance improvements and increased returns to expenditure.

Our work covers:

  • transforming public management processes and systems in public financial management, civil service reform, accountability and governance improvement, and law and justice
  • providing economic policy solutions in macroeconomic and sectoral applications, trade and economic integration, national development policy and financing, and private sector development
  • ensuring social policy and protection solutions are fully integrated into medium-term development and fiscal frameworks.
