Events

PADI organizes a series of events to share regional experience, learn from international best practice, receive specialized training, and disseminate research results. These events are hosted by different countries in the region on a rotating basis. Conferences are open to the public to ensure that a large number of policy makers and researchers gain from PADI. The budgets for the events may be transferred to the local implementing agency (national chapter or other institution) against contractual commitments.
