Work With Us

Established by the World Economic Forum in collaboration with the ASEAN
Secretariat in 2015, Grow Asia is a non-profit platform that builds regional and country partnerships to broker market-driven solutions for sustainable food systems in Southeast
Asia. We do this by convening global and regional stakeholders from public,
private, and civil society organizations around macro-level issues (‘Flagships’) such as responsible investing, agri-food innovation, women’s economic empowerment, and climate change, and by facilitating the development of more inclusive and sustainable value chains by brokering partnerships, developing and sharing best practice, and creating an ecosystem
that supports pre-competitive collaboration.

The Grow Asia network comprises our regional office in Singapore and
five national chapters in Cambodia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, the
Philippines, and Viet Nam. The network collectively engages 600+ partner organizations
and supports 44 Working Groups that are reaching over two million rural
businesses across Southeast Asia.

 In 2020, Grow Asia was accredited as an Entity Associated with ASEAN.
This accreditation recognizes the important role Grow Asia plays in the region,
particularly in facilitating multi-stakeholder partnerships for more inclusive,
resilient, and sustainable food systems in our region.

The Cambodia Partnership for Sustainable Agriculture (CPSA) is the Grow
Asia Country Partnership in Cambodia, which was launched in May 2016 in
partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF),
and with support from the Ministry of Commerce (MoC). CPSA is an inclusive
platform for networking and best practice exchange, the promotion of sectoral
and market system transformation, and the development of agricultural value
chains that are better equipped to support profitable, scalable smallholder
enterprises. Since its inception, CPSA has grown to a network of 124 partners
working across four Working Groups to address critical sectoral challenges in
Cambodia.
