8th Programme Cycle 2008-2013 APEID Framework of Action
Since its establishment in 1973, the Asia-Pacific Programme of Educational Innovation for Development (APEID) has undergone several changes affecting its structure, programmes and activities. These changes have largely been in response to the developing needs and demands of UNESCO's Member States and APEID's partners.
Similarly, APEID has had to adjust its planning and programming to match the United Nations and the UNESCO Education sector reforms to increase the impact of its programmes. It was within this context that APEID began planning for its 8th Programme Cycle in 2006. The work has focused on developing a framework of action that reflects the priorities of Member States and UNESCO, in line with UNESCO's 2008-2013 Medium-Term Strategy and the three biennium programmes for 2008-2009, 2010-2011 and 2012-2013.
