The CBNRM PI supports research projects in 11 countries in South and Southeast Asia. Within these countries our research support concentrates on three ecoregions: the coastal, the arid & semi-arid, and the uplands.

Asia is a very large and heterogeneous region. The CBNRM PI will continue to focus resources on the poorest countries in the region, and in some of the marginalised regions of larger countries. These target areas are the least able to link their development needs to local research capacities, and are the most constrained by available resources. Most of these countries have weak research institutions. In the transition economies of Vietnam, China, Laos and Cambodia, institutional capabilities and academic skills in social sciences are particularly limited. As a result, capacity-building will be a continuing priority of the program, and research effort should be seen in this light.
