USAID's Investments for Peace and Security in Asia Regional - Dollars to Results
FY 2011 $1.7 M
FY 2012 $0.9 M
Why Our Work Matters…
Globally, USAID works with local partners to combat transnational crime, protect human rights, and promote the peaceful resolution of conflicts. Establishing and maintaining peace and security builds public confidence and spurs subsequent economic growth.
The issue of human trafficking has become a global concern, and most directly affects Asia. About 600,000 to 800,000 people are trafficked annually in the region, of which an estimated 250,000 are from Southeast Asia and an additional 150,000 from South Asia.
USAID'S PEACE AND SECURITY PROGRAM IN ASIA AIMS TO:
- Design and implement programming that targets drivers of violent extremism and insurgency;
- Combat trafficking in persons; and
- Mitigate conflict and promote reconciliation.
