Regional Office for Southeast and East Asia
The FNF’s regional office for Southeast & East Asia is located in Bangkok, Thailand, and led by Dr. Rainer Adam. The regional office coordinates regional programmes as well as country-specific programmes in Cambodia, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand.
It has worked with partner organisations in the region to strengthen human rights protection, encourage public participation in politics, promote democratic freedom, and support structural reform with a view to creating a freer and fairer economic and political environment.
To facilitate achievement of those objectives, it joined partner organisations in setting up the Council of Asian Liberals and Democrats (CALD), the Regional Working Group for an ASEAN Human Rights Mechanism (RWG), the Young Liberals and Democrats of Asia (YLDA), and the Economic Freedom Network of Asia (EFN Asia). It has project offices in Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia and Korea although it also runs activities in several other countries in the region.
