Online via Zoom – AsiaDHRRA joined the Asia Pacific Peoples’ Forum 2021 “Beyond Agenda 2030: Asia and the Pacific for Transformative and genuine Change”, which will run from 17 to 22 March 2021 virtually.
As one policy engagement platform that discusses the Agenda 2030, the Asia Pacific Regional CSO Engagement Mechanism (APRCEM) kicked-off a very beefy discussion among some 150 participants from (1) Pacific, (2) East/North-East Asia, (3) North/Central Asia, (4) South/Southwest Asia, and (5) Southeast Asia, for this year’s theme “Sustainable and resilient recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic in Asia and the Pacific”.
The theme aimed to foster sharing among constituencies and countries about our region’s situation amidst the pandemic, reaffirm our commitment to upholding the development justice framework in implementing the Agenda 2030, and unite on CSOs and people’s organizations’ collective action towards people-centered development.
This is another strategic opportunity to deepen the #AsiaDHRRA network’s critical engagement with various Civil Society Organizations to forward the United Nations Decade of Farming (#UNDFF), Responsible Agricultural Investments (#RAI), and Sustainable Development Goals (#SDGs) to contribute to rural development and poverty eradication in South East Asia and the world.
