AFPPD Wins the UN Award
March 2010. The Asian Forum of Parliamentarians
on Population and Development (AFPPD), the
member organization of the ASAP, has been given the UN
Population Award for this year. Established by the
General Assembly in 1981, the UN Population Award is
given annually to individuals and institutions for outstanding contributions to population concerns and their solutions.
According to the statement released today, AFPPD is
honored for its commitment to informing, educating,
motivating and involving parliamentarians on issues
related to reproductive health, family planning, food
security, ageing, urbanization, migration, HIV and AIDS and women’s empowerment. The awards are scheduled to be
presented during a ceremony on 3 June at UN Headquarters in New York. |
