With an expansive mandate to operate across the continent, this multidisciplinary initiative aims to create resilient, equitable, and prosperous societies underpinned by strong democratic institutions. The Asia Futures activity is structured around four primary objectives, to be implemented in collaboration with the private sector, governments, and civil society: (1) Address emerging development challenges in key countries and subregions as a result of Asia’s increasingly competitive strategic environment. (2) Strengthen intra- and inter-regional connectivity and development diplomacy, including cooperation with key development donors and partners. (3) Improving resilience to climate, including related threats to health, and food systems. (4) Strengthen the capacity of USAID/Asia Missions in addressing complex threats.

- Support the COP in ensuring that all project deliverables and reporting are of good quality and submitted in accordance with USAID regulations and timely.
