Training
The APF’s training programs are designed to assist its member institutions in carrying out their core functions, which include: investigating and resolving complaints, reviewing laws and policies and undertaking human rights education programs.
The APF’s training programs help build the professional skills and strengthen the capacity of both Commissioners and staff so they can more effectively do their work.
Each training program is tailored to meet the specific needs of APF member institutions and individual participants. The APF uses expert presenters – many of whom are drawn from APF member institutions – to conduct its training programs and to lead individual sessions.
The APF’s training program includes regional workshops which bring together senior staff from APF member institutions, as well as governments and civil society groups, to share expertise, build partnerships and develop practical strategies to address the pressing human rights issues of the Asia Pacific.
