Mission

Major Activities

Activity 2

Governance, Law & Civil Society - The goal of The Asia Foundation's Governance, Law, and Civil Society (GLC) programs is to support Asian initiatives that help to build more effective and responsive governance in areas that can accelerate sustainable economic and social development, expand liberty and justice, and reduce the incidence of violent sub-national conflict. In helping our Asian partners to strengthen governance reform, our overall goal is to achieve significant impact in helping to address some of the most critical governance challenges in the countries and sub-regions of Asia where the Foundation is among the very few organizations, or the only organization, that could achieve that impact.

Activity 3

Women's Empowerment Program - In 1994, the Foundation launched a dedicated Women's Program to develop and expand country and regional initiatives that increase the rights and roles of women in all spheres. The goal of the Women's Empowerment Program (WEP) is to empower women individually and collectively to be full, equal, and active participants in their country's social, political, and economic development. The WEP program addresses a range of gender-related issues in virtually all the countries where the Foundation operates. The Program has three strategic and mutually reinforcing programming objectives: to ensure women's rights and security; to increase women's political participation; and to advance women's economic opportunities.
