In 2012, ACTED opened its South and South-East Asia regional coordination office in Bangkok. The office was set up to provide logistical, financial and administrative support to operations in the region, but also to better streamline ACTED’s interventions and develop a more focused and coherent programmatic approach that meets the needs and challenges of the South and South-East Asia region. ACTED’s strategy for South/South-East Asia seeks to address the myriad developmental challenges from the regional level down to the community level, where it counts and is felt most with a focus on a) building disaster and climate change resilience; b) strengthening civil society and good governance and c) facilitating pro-poor economic development. Of course, with Asia being the world’s most disaster-prone region, ACTED as a humanitarian organization will continue to fulfill one of its key mandates: to intervene quickly to save lives, reduce suffering and protect the integrity and dignity of people in distress.

ACTED countries of intervention in the region include: Sri Lanka, India, Myanmar, Thailand, Lao PDR, Cambodia, Philippines and Indonesia.
