GCAP Asia

Asia and the Pacific face a severe crisis in which nearly 68% of its citizens live in extreme poverty, without enough to eat or access to basic services, such as safe water, education and healthcare.

The global financial, food and climate crises and violent conflict have increased disparities and particularly impacted children, marginalised communities and women. However there has been significant progress across the region on several of the Millennium Development Goals, including providing access to primary school for all children, reducing gender disparities in education and stemming the spread of HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis.

GCAP's national coalitions in Asia are campaigning every day to create The World We Want, a world free from poverty and inequality.
