What is APFED?

Asia Pacific Forum for Environment and Development brings together a regional group of eminent experts from Asia and the Pacific with a view to addressing critical issues and to propose new models for equitable and sustainable development of the region.

What is APFED Showcase Programme?

The APFED Showcase Programme is one of the three components of APFED. The programme focuses on promoting sustainable development through support to projects that promote innovative policies, measures, and actions in the region. The programme grants up to USD 30,000 for projects that demonstrate innovative approaches to environmental problems. Around 10-12 projects are selected under the programme each year and are mentored and monitored by the Asia-Pacific Regional Network of Policy Research Institutes for Environmental Management and Sustainable Development. These activities are then shared with partners and stakeholders through the APFED Good Practice Database. This programme is funded by the Ministry of Environment, Japan. The APFED Showcase Facility is hosted by UNEP Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific.
