Empowering Women a Priority in Kabul   Economic opportunity and women’s influence in Kabul are growing thanks to the work of Kabul City Initiative and the Kabul Municipality (KM). The Kabul City Initiative (KCI) is a 3-year, $120 million project funded by USAID and implemented by Tetra Tech ARD.  

September 2008—September 2013   The Coral Triangle covers the exclusive economic zones of six countries: Indonesia, East Timor, the Philippines, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands. It is the epicenter of marine life abundance and diversity on the planet. Its biological resources sustain the lives of over 120 million people. This “Amazon of the Sea,” however, is at risk. Coastal development, illegal and unregulated fishing, unsuitable tourism, land-based sources of pollution, and global warming are taking a heavy toll and may cause the collapse of fisheries and habitats in the Coral Triangle. Stronger political will, commitment of a wide range of stakeholders, and concerted action among countries within the Coral Triangle are needed to conserve marine biodiversity, stop habitat destruction, and effectively manage marine resources.
