International Trainings
and Seminars: ACPD
With over 27 years of experience, the Asian Center for Population
and Community Development, ACPD, is the international training arm
of PDA and PDI. ACPD was founded on the expectation that by sharing
PDI-PDA’s experiences, other NGOs will have the opportunity
to meet their challenges and strengthen their public health responses.
From the beginning, ACPD’s mission was to offer training programs
for low-income countries on how to improve and strengthen their public
health performance using integrated community-based responses. ACPD
believes in training NGOs on how to build sustainable solutions by
sharing PDI-PDA’s hands-on development approach using appropriate
technology and current methods. The courses are based on the successes
of PDI-PDA and are aimed at strengthening the long-term viability
of the NGO sector in Asia and around the globe.
ACPD is dedicated to providing training courses which enhance local
capacity development as well as strengthening governmental responses.
The Institute has delivered training courses and workshops on many
diverse areas. In some cases, the Institute partners with local resources,
such as professors from the Sasin Graduate School of Business Administration at Chulalongkhorn University, to deliver training on
income generation for NGOs. |

In other cases, the Institute may partner
with the PDI-PDA health clinic and local hospitals to offer training
on establishing additional medical services, such as x-ray mobile
vans. Following are some of the areas ACPD has provided training on
