APIRAS Sub-Regional Networks

Welcome to APIRAS

Asia-Pacific Islands Rural Advisory Services Network (APIRAS) was organized in 2011 to serve as a platform for networking, advocacy, and capacity building for agricultural extension and rural advisory services (RAS) professionals and institutions in the Asia-Pacific Islands Region.
