The apfpm is a regional grouping of independent national project management associations.
In a similar vein to the formation of APEC, the apfpm was formed to harness the synergies of Project Management related Professional Associations across the region.
Through international collaborative partnering these Associations can more effectively grow and develop their organisations; leveraging the stature, strength, and connectivity of each other.
The Member Associations from this vast and complex region have diverse ethnicity, and languages, and incorporate both western and eastern cultures. The Asia Pacific region effectively represents nearly two thirds of the world's population and well over half of global trade. In a similar vain to the formation of APEC, the apfpm was formed to harness the synergies of Project Management related Professional Associations across the region.
In 1997, the Asia Pacific Forum was established and a charter signed. Meetings of the forum were held in India in 1998 and in Cairns, Australia in October 2000.
A meeting was held at the Gold Coast, Australia in October 2002 to change the structure and focus of the forum into a federation of project management institutes based in the Asia-Pacific region. The apfpm was formed in principle and a draft charter was initiated. It was agreed the apfpm was to be formalised by the signing of a charter of five or more institutes / associations in the region.
However, the Federation became inactive due to changes in association representation in the region and some individual lead organisations not being able to gain sufficient momentum over the ensuing period, hence the Federation ceased to function.
The apfpm was re-established and launched by Bill Young,with the auspices and backing of the Australian Institute of Project Management. A launch meeting was held in April 2010 with foundation Member Associations (Project Management Associates - India, Project Management Research Committee - China, Project Management Association of Nepal, Hong Kong Institute of Project Management - HK, Project Management Association of Japan, Ikatan Ahli Manajemen Proyek Indonesia, and the Australian Institute of Project Management); hosted by the Hong Kong Institute of Project Management.
