Projects - Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation
 

Projects

 

APEC-funded projects are a vital part of the APEC process, turning into action APEC Ministers' and APEC Economic Leaders' specific policy direction. Projects cover a range of beneficial activities for the region, from establishing channels for information exchange to assist business with trade and investment, to providing information technology training in developing economies.

Project funding is available from three accounts: the Operational Account (drawn from APEC Member Economies' annual financial contributions), the Trade and Investment Liberalisation and Facilitation (TILF) Special Account, and the APEC Support Fund Account. With limited funds at its disposal, APEC ensures that the benefits of projects are maximised for Member Economies and people in the Asia-Pacific region.

Please direct queries on projects, including requests for evaluation reports prior to 2005, to APEC Secretariat Program Directors.

New APEC Project Database
The APEC Project Database has been revitalized and is a complete project management system to enable projects to be managed from early development, through to implementation and completion. From 2007, APEC members will be able to start submitting and managing their projects online. Searching for projects will be easier than ever before with easy to use search tools and project listings.

Lessons Learnt in Evaluation Reports
The lessons learnt have been collated from Evaluation Reports submitted to the Budget and Management Committee meetings for both APEC-funded and solely self-financed projects, and are categorized according to the different stages where the areas for possible improvement were recognized, namely, proposing stage, implementation stage and others. It would be useful to refer to and utilise where applicable the document with a view to facilitating smooth preparation and implementation of APEC projects.

Requests for Proposal/Tender
APEC actively encourages the involvement of the private sector, universities and government in the Asia-Pacific Region in APEC projects. Typically, requests for proposals/tenders for projects are advertised on this website. Current requests for proposals/tenders, if any, are listed here.
