ACTIVITY 02Study Visits on Population and Development

Promoting hands-on learning and its application to legislation, policymaking and budget mobilization

APDA sends Japanese and Asian parliamentarians overseas to observe projects conducted by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the Japanese Government. Similarly, parliamentarians from selected countries are invited to Japan to visit facilities in areas such as population and development, health and medical care. Through exchange between parliamentarians from Japan and other countries, the programme aims to strengthen cooperation , share good practices and lessons learned and apply the learning to legislation, policymaking and budget mobilization in their own countries. .
