The ASEAN Peatland Forests Project (APFP), funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), was implemented in four ASEAN Member States, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, and Viet Nam, to demonstrate and scale up integrated management of peatlands in Southeast Asia. The project was completed in December 2014. The related SEApeat project, funded by the European Union through the Global Environment Centre (GEC), aims to reduce deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions caused by peatland degradation in Southeast Asia. The combined projects involved all ten ASEAN Member States in regional activities and pilot site activities in eight AMS. The ASEAN Secretariat is the Executing Agency of the APFP, while GEC is the Regional Project Executing Agency of both projects.
