Dear JICA friends,
I would like to report on the meeting of CBR AP Network held from December 14 to 16, 2009 at APCD(Asia-Pacific Development Center on Disaiblity) , Bangkok, Thailand.
This network was established as the result of the 1st CBR AP Congress held in February 2009 in Bangkok.
At the meeting in December the Constitution and the Plan of Action were adopted. The discussion was carried out by the group work so it worked well for the team building and enhancement of each one's ownersihp of the network. The vision of the network is "Inclusive Development" and "Inclusive Society." APCD provides support to the network as the secretariat.
The election of officers was also carried out. Nine persons were elected.
The future activities are; logo contest, collection of case studies, setting up of website in the website of APCD, the second CBR AP Congress.
When the website starts within the website of APCD, you will be informed.
Please pay attention to the CBR AP Network.
