APDA Membership

How can we create an environment where men and women of all ages can participate in social activities in various ways depending on their own abilities and desires? How can we reduce the number of mothers who die during childbirth due to insufficient healthcare facilities or scarcity of healthcare staff? How can we empower children in remote areas to develop their full potential when they have to spend their day fetching water instead of attending school? How can we ensure children grow up to be healthy adults when each time it rains sewage water leaks into their houses?

Tackling population issues is indeed inherent to all our lives. Each day we confront challenges that revolve around these issues. Effective resolution of these issues requires inclusive and innovative approaches that are fostered by people’s understanding. APDA joins forces with a variety of counterparts in other countries to address population issues through supporting parliamentarians and research activities.
