In order to keep track of the fast evolving human capacity in population and development, the Asia-Pacific Population Information Network (AP POPIN), ESCAP with financial support from UNFPA entirely revamped its database on population professionals in the Asian and Pacific region, proposing a new structure, updated content and search feature.
The new Directory provides updated information on population experts’ professional affiliations, education, field of expertise and publications on a variety of countries in Asia and the Pacific.
The Directory should prove useful to facilitate and increase access to experts in the region and contribute to an increased awareness and understanding of population expertise. It will also facilitate networking among the population experts.

The Directory is presented in a very user-friendly format, which allows you to search by country or by keyword (whether by name, e-mail, institute, city, region or field of expertise).

Here are the countries and institutions which took part in this project:

• Australian Centre for Population Research Demography, The Australian National University, Australia
• Korea National University of Education, Republic of Korea
• National Statistical Office, Mongolia
• Demography/Population Programme, Secretariat for the Pacific Community
• Service Analysis, DHB Funding and Performance Directorate, Ministry of Health, New Zealand
• Population Division, Ministry of Health, Sri Lanka
  We take this opportunity to thank all of them for their active participation to this worthwhile undertaking.
