 This publication gives an overview of the Asia and Pacific Region; provides a detailed analysis of some of the crucial issues facing the region - adolescent reproductive health, population ageing, rising spread of HIV/AIDS, gender discrimination, gender-based violence, situations of crisis; and highlights UNFPA's core interventions and major initiatives in each of these areas.

From 1998 - 2002 the European Commission, UNFPA and European and local NGOs came together under the Initiative for Reproductive Health in Asia (RHI) to improve the RH of vulnerable populations in 7 countries in South and Southeast Asia. This publication presents the activities, experiences and lessons learned over the course of the first phase of this innovative programme.
