What is FANSEA?
FANSEA (Farmed Animal Network Southeast Asia) is a network of organisations across Southeast Asia working together to improve farmed animal welfare and advance change within food systems.
What is the difference between FANSEA and Investing in Others?
Investing in Others is World Animal Protection’s regranting programme, active since 2021, which provides funding and technical support to organisations in Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam.
FANSEA is the wider network built around that work. Membership is open to qualifying organisations working on farmed animal welfare across Southeast Asia, not only Investing in Others grantees.
Investing in Others grantees are FANSEA members, but not all FANSEA members are Investing in Others grantees.
Is FANSEA part of World Animal Protection?
