General Aims

• The Asia-Pacific Institute for Broadcasting
  Development (AIBD) is a regional
  inter-governmental organisation servicing
  countries of the United Nations Economic and
  Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific
  (UN-ESCAP) in the field of electronic media
  development.  It is hosted by the Government of
  Malaysia.
• The Institute seeks to fulfill this mandate by
  mobilising the intellectual and technological
  resources available within the national
  broadcasting organizations of its member
  countries as well as regional and international
  bodies through a well-established infrastructure
  and networking mechanism which includes
  government agencies, non-governmental
  organizations, institutions of higher learning,
  the private sector and individual professionals.

The new strategic plan

• The new strategic plan of the AIBD calls upon the
  Institute to serve as 
• the regional platform to encourage dialogue and
  cooperation in the electronic media policy of the
  Asia-Pacific region, taking full account of
  emerging current and global, regional and
  national issues 
• the window for regional policy makers to access
  information to world-wide mass media policy
  formulation and regulations and vice versa 
• a vehicle to establish inter-regional links and
  cooperation for  trans-border media and
  communications development 
• a think-tank for the development of regional
  programming that reflects the traditional values
  of the Asia-Pacific region 
• an agent of change in the regional IT
  environment 
• a catalyst for national media development, taking
  account of new  partnerships between
  manufacturers, service providers and the
  governments 
• a media consultancy resource house to assist
  member countries 
• a reference centre and provider for human
  resource development.

Achievements

• The activities of the Institute in the last two
  decades were, in the main, in the area of skill
  development for broadcasters. These activities
  were demand-driven responding to needs
  identified by the member-countries themselves. 
  As a consequence, the Institute emerged as the
  leading provider of broadcasting training in the
  region.  Its relevance and success is manifested
  by the fact that more than 16,500 personnel from
  countries within the Asia-Pacific region have
  been beneficiaries of the Institutes training
  programme, several of whom now occupy senior
  managerial positions in the broadcasting
  industry.
