KECF project: Pilot implementation of the low carbon green growth roadmap for Asia and the Pacific”,
- Established in 1987, the Korea-ESCAP Cooperation Fund
(KECF) is an important instrument to enable ESCAP to
build national capacities in Asia and the Pacific.
- As one of the key activities in the KECF, the project

growth roadmap for Asia and the Pacific” has been
proposed. (targeting: Mongolia, Nepal, Philippines and
ASEAN countries);
- Beneficiaries: National, regional as well as local policy makers from relevant ministries such as, environment, urban development, local government authorities
