What We Do
Sustainable Development Investment Portfolio
To support climate resilient livelihoods and inclusive economic growth in South Asia, The Asia Foundation is addressing growing water, food, and energy insecurity.
As part of the Australian Government’s Sustainable Development Investment Portfolio we are improving integrated management of water, energy and food while addressing gender and climate change impacts in these ways: establishing a “Water and Environment Research Corner” at Karakoram International University, creating four pilot projects in water and food security in diverse topographies in Pakistan, a water, energy and food nexus framework based on Pakistan’s government policies, and advocacy and bottom-up platforms for citizenry to access policymakers.
Let’s Read Asia
Let’s Read, the digital platform of our Books for Asia program, was introduced in Pakistan in 2019, and houses children’s stories in more than 40 international languages. More than 400 have been translated into Urdu for wider outreach in Pakistan. Let’s Read promotes literacy and encourages reading habits among children, and serves as a creative forum where children can learn about different cultures and ideas through books written by authors from different parts of the world.
