【 摘 要 】

This paper is a review of theexperience of the Asian Coalition for Community Action(ACCA) Program operated by the Asian Coalition for HousingRights (ACHR). The objective is to examine what ACCA hasaccomplished in three years of operation (2009-2012) under aGates Foundation grant. The review is based on field visitsto three of the countries served by ACCA Thailand,Cambodia, and Vietnam and discussions with community leadersfrom three other countries Nepal, the Philippines, and SriLanka. Numerous discussions were held with the ACHRleadership, staff from the Community OrganizationDevelopment Institute (CODI) of Thailand, and the ThailandDevelopment Research Institute (TDRI).1 In addition, areview was conducted of the literature prepared by and aboutACHR, as well as a filtering and synthesis of the status ofthe cities and countries that made use of ACCA in terms oftheir broader economic conditions and local governancecapabilities. Given that ACCA operates in more than 150cities in 19 countries, this review is by no means anaudited account of its activities.
