Working for Environmentally Sustainable Growth and Improved Quality of Life for the People of Asia
The United States-Asia Environmental Partnership (US-AEP) is a regional program of the U.S. Agency for International Development that promotes environmentally sustainable growth in India, Indonesia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam. Since 1992, we have worked with Asian partners to find solutions to a wide range of environmental problems. We share best practices across the region as we work for cleaner cities and industries and, ultimately, an improved quality of life for the people of Asia.
Responding through Partnerships
US-AEP builds partnerships to respond to the environmental challenges of the region, with a particular emphasis on public-private partnerships. By working together with governments, non-governmental organizations, academia, and the private sector, we mobilize expertise, technologies, and other resources to find solutions to diverse environmental problems in Southeast and South Asia. These partnerships increasingly link people and organizations within Asia, in addition to drawing on resources in the United States.
Sharing Solutions to Problems
The six US-AEP countries share many of the same environmental problems - poor air and water quality, inadequate solid and hazardous waste management, and industrial pollution. US-AEP identifies and share best practices and technologies throughout the region, tailoring proven models to meet local needs.
