As part of the ongoing UNFPA effort to improve communications and information exchange between its headquarters, field offices and partner agencies, the Asia and the Pacific Division (APD) of the Fund has launched a quarterly Newsletter starting from February 2004.
Titled Asia and Pacific Division News, the electronic Newsletter covers major events taking place at headquarters and in the region. It also discusses achievements, challenges and successes of some country offices.
In each edition, country reports will be selected in alphabetical order. The first issue of the Newsletter covers activities undertaken by UNFPA in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, China and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. It also includes a short report on the Fund’s emergency relief work for Iran earthquake victims.
In addition to the Newsletter, an Asia and the Pacific Division website (www.unfpa.org/asiapacific) will be launched in early March.
