Asia Centre is a research institute that aims to create social impact in the region. It was first established in Bangkok, Thailand in 2015 and in 2018 a second Centre was established in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. In 2021, Asia Centre was granted the UNECOSOC Special Consultative Status. It serves as a knowledge partner, undertaking evidence-based research on issues affecting the Asian region and developing toolkits for CSOs, development aid agencies, INGOs, media workers, and policy-makers. It convenes events such as conferences, seminars, webinars and workshops and amplifies its advocacy by producing digital content for media and social media to widen public engagement.
