From time to time, TVE Asia Pacific works with development organisations or research institutes, helping them to formulate communication or mass media strategies for their public interest issues, campaigns or programmes.

The first such collaboration was in 2001-2002 with the UN Environment Programme (UNEP). It resulted in The Communication Strategy for Global Compliance with the Montreal Protocol, which identified a set of key messages on global ozone depletion that informs and influences ozone related public communications by governments, industry, civil society and the media.

In 2004, UNEP Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific contracted TVEAP to prepare a Regional Awareness Action Plan for compliance with the Montreal Protocol in the Asia Pacific. The process included organising a ‘Regional Consultative Meeting to finalise a Regional Action Plan for the implementation of the Communication Strategy for Global Compliance with the Montreal Protocol’ (Manila, Philippines; 28 - 29 January 2004). This involved 25 senior officials representing ministries or departments of environment from 10 Asia Pacific countries, who were trained in aspects of communications planning and media relations. The process resulted in Saving our Sky: Regional Awareness Action Plan for Compliance with the Montreal Protocol in Asia and the Pacific (2004).
