CORIN-Asia works on three levels. First, we empower local communities through building their capacities. We bring out communities together to help leverage their impact, scale their ideas, and capture and disseminate their good practices. Second, we work with national agencies in influencing policies that support poverty reduction, social development and natural resources management initiatives. Finally, we link with other international partner institutions in advocating for natural resources management in the region. Forging alliances help build the framework needed to facilitate the spread of sustainable resources management efforts to other countries.

CORIN-Asia's three levels are mutually reinforcing. None of our programs exist to provide services exclusively. Together they are bringing our vision of contributing to facilitate achievement of food security and reducing poverty in the region.
