  Active Projects (database list)

The World Bank's East Asia and Pacific rural development and agriculture lending portfolio is approximately US$4.5 billion of net financing commitments through 47 active projects (2006). 

 

As shown in the pie chart below, activities in China comprise the largest share (61 percent) of this program, with Vietnam, the Philippines and Indonesia the next three most active programs.  Programs in Cambodia and Lao PDR are also active, but limited by current constraints on IDA resources available for project finance support.

 

 

The World Bank is working to support more than 20 countries in the East Asia and Pacific region by providing grants and low-interest loans for development projects, as well as expert advice and consulting services.
