This year, the APTERR Secretariat had an opportunity to welcome  Mr. Pirapat Shimphalee and Mr. Pakapon Jarukittiyon, third-year students from the Department of Political Science and Public Administration, Faculty of Social Science, Kasetsart University, Bangkok, to participate in our internship programme during 3 June - 3 July 2019.

 

Although it was only the one-month programme, they could experience a humanitarian work as well as improve their knowledge and skills through various assignments related to APTERR activities. To complete their internship, they were tasked to present the result of their study on APTERR programmes to the APTERR staff.  The outcomes would be useful for the APTERR Secretariat in continually developing existing APTERR programmes and activities.

 

 

 “We are excited to become an intern at the APTERR Secretariat. We appreciate being responsible for interesting and challenging assignments as well as are impressed with how efficient this organisation is. We are thankful to all senior staff for guiding, teaching, and taking care of us along the period. Regarding the apprenticeship, we obtained numerous knowledge and experienced the real-working atmosphere in which we have never touched before. These received knowledge and experiences will be useful for our studying and working fields in the long run, ” said Mr. Pirapat and Mr.Pakapon.

 What is APTERR?

 

The ASEAN Plus Three Emergency Rice Reserve (APTERR) is a regional cooperation established under the APTERR Agreement signed by the Ministers of the Agriculture and Forestry of the ASEAN Plus Three at the 11th Meeting of the ASEAN Minister on Agriculture and Forestry Plus Three (AMAF+3) on 7 October 2011 in Jakarta, Indonesia. The APTERR was officially established itself as a permanent mechanism and also marked the official launch of the APTERR Secretariat office in Bangkok in 2013. 

 

We are keen to strengthen food security, poverty alleviation, and malnourishment eradication among its members without distorting normal trade, while the common goal of the APTERR Parties is the assurance of food security in the ASEAN+3 region.
