What We Do
Support Networks for GBV Survivors
Our India office leads a multi-country research project to study screening and support services for trafficking and gender-based violence survivors in India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. The project will provide national and regional recommendations to government and non-government stakeholders. The Foundation also supports vulnerability mapping in the state of Jharkhand, a trafficking hotspot, to inform the government’s preventative measures.
India-U.S. Triangular Development Partnership
The Asia Foundation is implementing the India-U.S. Triangular Development Partnership (TriDeP) program that aims to enhance India’s development cooperation footprint in support of the U.S. and India’s mutual aims across the region.
The project focuses on three core areas: disaster risk reduction, climate smart agriculture, and renewable energy. In countries across the region, TriDeP will establish partnerships with government, civil society, business corporations, think tanks, and academic institutions. Through Indian Centres of Excellence, training institutes, and the private sector activities, TriDeP will build capacities, forge collaborations, and develop Triangular Cooperation projects to provide targeted assistance. TriDeP draws upon the Foundation’s seven decades of experience across Asia and the Pacific, its operational infrastructure, and relationships in countries in the region to transfer Indian innovations addressing challenges in agriculture, disaster management, and renewable energy. In doing so, TriDeP promotes India’s strong development expertise, expands joint U.S.-India development partnership, and fosters greater regional prosperity.
