ASEAN Youth Volunteer Programme

Database of Environment - Based NGO’s

around ASEAN

Background Context

The ASEAN Youth Volunteer Programme is a dedicated youth volunteerism

platform that mobilises ASEAN youth to develop innovative solutions to the

social, cultural, economic and environmental challenges of communities

across ASEAN, while forging a sense of regional identity. It is developed and

implemented by Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), in partnership with the

Malaysian Ministry of Youth and Sports, the ASEAN Secretariat and United

States Agency for International Development (USAID).

AYVP works on 7 thematic areas, as guided by the ASEAN Socio-Cultural

Blueprint, among which is our common advocacy - Environment and Climate

Change. As AYVP develops into a regional reference centre for volunteerism

initiatives across the region, one of its initiatives with USAID is the development

of a database of NGOs around the region, which would help stakeholders in

engagement activities in the region.

This Database of Environment-Based NGO’s around ASEAN features 88 non-

governmental organisations (NGOs) that all advocate for the importance of

maintaining a sustainable environment and ecosystem for the community. It

contains a brief summary of their vision-mission, activities and contact details.
