Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC)
APEC contributes funding to around 100-150 projects each year, with the majority of projects focused on transferring knowledge and skills between members and building capacity so that each economy can move closer towards the Bogor Goals of free and open trade and investment. APEC projects include workshops, symposia, publications, and research. They are open to participation from all 21 member economies and external stakeholder engagement is encouraged. Projects cover a wide range of priority sectors. Each year APEC defines the key policy priorities and projects aim to contribute to these directions
