This analysis and road map outlines five focus areas for the Regional Development Mission for Asia (RDMA) to support in its regional programs, and in bilateral contexts where RDMA is the responsible Mission, including: clean energy; forests and land use change; coasts and coral reef ecosystems; freshwater resources and ecosystems; and integrative climate change services initiatives.

Abstract
As initially developed this analysis and road map provides detailed discussion of each of these focus areas. Of these focus areas, however, RDMA has identified the first three -- clean energy, forests and land use change, and coasts and coral reef ecosystems -- as immediate programming priorities, as well as regional climate change advisory support under integrative climate change services. These priorities are based on RDMA"s anticipated funding, linkages and complementarity with ongoing programs, opportunities for leveraging and partnering, and current USG policy priorities. Nevertheless, RMDA intends to consider supporting the remaining focus areas should additional program funding become available. (Author abstract, modified)
