The annual Executive Directors meeting of the East and South East and Oceania Regional (ESEAOR) Office which comprises of 25+ Member Associations (MAs) was held from 20th to 22nd June 2018 at the Pullman KLCC Hotel. The forum served as a platform for the attendees to discuss past performance, analyse areas and drivers of growth and identify strategies to address ongoing challenges.

On day three, a dedicated segment was set aside for selected Global Programmes during which - Mr.Rishikeshan Thiyagaraja, Manager - IPPF Social Enterprise Hub shared a presentation which covered an introduction to the Social Enterprise Programme, a comprehensive update on activities in focus and also on tips to consider when preparing a proposal for new projects. The overarching message via the session was on how we can continue to make a social impact and save lives...in a self sustaining manner. The gathering also proved to be a good opportunity to network with the senior members of the Regions MAs and to provide clarity and direction on the questions posed on the subject.
