The EANET Project Fund mechanism was approved by the Twenty-third Session of the Intergovernmental Meeting on the Acid Deposition Monitoring Network in East Asia in November 2021. Project Concept Notes and Plans are submitted to yearly Working Group Meetings (generally in August), then to the Scientific Advisory Committee Meetings (in October), and finally approved by the Intergovernmental Meeting on the EANET each year in November.
.
At the Twenty-fifth Session of the Intergovernmental Meeting on the EANET (IG25) in November 2023, the Participating Countries approved eleven EANET Projects in 2024, in addition to the activities under the Core Budget of the EANET, primarily focusing on capacity building for government officials but also concerning key air quality management-related issues such as on Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), low-cost sensors (LCS), emissions inventories, and source apportionment projects in the region.
