Abstract
AMPLIFY is a 5-year regional initiative of The Asia Foundation and the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade that aims to address the problem that women living in ASEAN are disproportionately impacted by armed conflicts and human security threats.
In 2022, ASEAN advanced its commitment to WPS through the adoption of the ASEAN Regional Plan of Action on Women, Peace, and Security.
AMPLIFY seeks to support ASEAN to implement the Regional Plan of Action, as well as supporting women’s peace initiatives, particularly those that benefit women in insecure communities. The project will support interventions across ASEAN, focused on Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, the Philippines, and Vietnam, with potential engagement in Timor-Leste as it prepares to join ASEAN.
At the country level, the program will concentrate efforts on Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar.
