Shining a light on individuals who have championed the cause of productivity and advanced the productivity movement in the Asia-Pacific, the APO conferred a total of 20 APO Awards comprising three categories: Regional, Meritorious and Distinguished, and National.
Conferred traditionally once every five years since their launch in 1981, the 2021 awards were particularly auspicious as they coincided with the 60th Anniversary of the founding of the APO, its Diamond Jubilee. The awards both honor the tremendous achievements of individuals and signal that productivity enhancement should be at the center of the development agenda.
