Annual Reports

Global pandemic recovery continued in 2023, and the APO proposed new initiatives, revised long-standing programs, and looked to a brighter future through expanded cooperation in the Asia-Pacific and beyond. The 2023 Annual Report gives concise reports on the APO’s new and continuing initiatives to benefit its members and international partners. The APO Vision 2025 Pause-and-reflect activity was a focal point in 2023 for a seamless transition to the post-2025 vision. As we usher in a new era, the APO invites government leaders, stakeholders, international collaborators, and youth to contribute their evolving insights on the productivity movement to shape a more productive future for us all.

In 2022, the lifting of pandemic-related restrictions allowed the resumption of many face-to-face APO activities, while it continued to explore digital options for delivering services to increase productivity in the agriculture, industry, service, and public sectors under Vision 2025. The APO Annual Report 2022 summarizes projects, publications, e-learning courses, and cooperative initiatives within and beyond the Asia-Pacific.

This report is a comprehensive summary of the APO’s activities and initiatives in 2021, an historical year that saw the APO commemorate its 60th anniversary, launch Vision 2025, and revitalize its award schemes, while continuously innovating and improving programs to serve its members during the ongoing pandemic.
