Staff Placements
APF members have consistently highlighted the importance of staff exchanges as a useful way to build understanding and cooperation between national human rights institutions in the Asia Pacific.
The APF’s staff placement program aims to: develop the skills and knowledge of the staff of APF member institutions; implement specific activities of the APF and its members; and strengthen the regional nature of the APF’s work.
The placement of officers is decided according to the capacity and needs of both the ‘sending’ institution and the ‘receiving’ institution. The APF Secretariat coordinates all aspects of the program between member institutions.
