VPU Context:

EAP is a large and diverse region, ranging from Small Island States of the Pacific to the Philippines and China. Despite substantial economic growth and poverty reduction, the EAP region faces huge development challenges. Growth has been uneven across and within countries, institutions still need strengthening, and most countries are heavily affected by climate change. The Bank plays a significant role on global public goods, including climate resilient infrastructure, electricity access and renewable energy, rural and urban development, biodiversity, water pollution, and health.
