Opis

Since the signing of Executive Order 13515, the White House Initiative on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (Initiative) engaged 23 Federal departments and agencies to focus on the unmet needs of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs). Each of the Federal agencies began reviewing and assessing their programs and services in August 2010, compiling data relevant to AAPIs and soliciting input from the AAPI community and the President's Advisory Commission on AAPIs. The cross-departmental efforts were coordinated through an Interagency Working Group, co-chaired by Commerce Secretary Gary Locke and Education Secretary Arne Duncan, and coordinated by Initiative Executive Director Kiran Ahuja and members of the Interagency Implementation Team (IIT). These efforts culminated in Agency Plans designed to meet the needs of the AAPI community while leveraging the dynamic community assets that work to meet those needs. The Plans address the Initiative's cross-cutting priorities: improving data collection, analysis and dissemination of AAPI-specific information; ensuring linguistic and culturally competent access to Federal programs and services; protecting civil rights and equal opportunity; promoting and increasing Federal employment among AAPIs; and increasing outreach and access to Federal grant opportunities and other programs.
