rooted in human rights,
it is robust and multi-layered,
and gives effect to the human

empowerment and transparency.
MEETINGS
12TH APA CONFERENCE
Promoting Accountability and Addressing Inequalities: Sexual
and Reproductive Health and Rights & Sustainable Development
in Asia and the Pacific
In 2014, over 40 members and partners of APA gathered from 15-16
October in Hanoi for the 12th APA Conference, organised in cooperation
with the Vietnam Family Planning Association (VINAFPA). Participants
discussed human rights accountability and its various forms — political,
administrative and social — and strategies for ensuring that SRHR and
accountability are embedded in the post-2015 development agenda.
The objectives of the two-day conference were to:
Take stock of the results of the global ICPD review process, in
particular the 6th Asian and Pacific Population Conference;
Human rights accountability
encompasses AND entails multiple
forms of accountability. When
we envision accountability from
a human rights perspective we
must go beyond the technocratic
model of accountability tha
