| "The Amazon Sustainable Landscape is an ambitious program to protect the biodiversity and ecosystem services that underpin community livelihoods and global environmental benefits. Building on decades of work in the Amazon region, this program works in collaboration with its partners from government, donor community, and civil society organizations to accelerate local and regional solutions and promote sustainability.” |
 |
The ASL is a regional effort for conservation and sustainable development in the Amazon, aiming to connect people and institutions to connect well-conserved and managed landscapes.
The ASL national projects are led by environmental authorities in each participant Amazon country and are being executed collaboratively by national and international public and private agencies, supported by civil society and community organizations.
The World Bank Group (WBG) is the ASL’s lead agency. The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), Development Bank of Latin America (CAF), Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), and International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) are the Global Environment Facility (GEF) agencies that provide support for the preparation and implementation of national projects. A regional coordination project, implemented by the World Bank, provides technical assistance and knowledge management opportunities to the participant countries and program partners.

Coordination technical assistance project (ASL1)
GEF Agency: The World Bank Group
The regional technical assistance project aims to strengthen coordination, access to information, and capacity of national projects' stakeholders under the ASL Program. Within ASL1, this regional project brought the national teams of Brazil, Colombia, and Peru together to build capacity and scale up innovative approaches by offering knowledge exchange events, enhancing coordination with key partners, and building a community of practice.
Opportunities for regional collaboration and governance processes were also promoted with a wider community of project teams, government institutions, donor agencies, and civil society organizations working in the Amazon.
