AHPADA, the ASEAN Handicraft Promotion and Development Association is an ASEAN accredited civil society organization. Over its 40-year history, it has worked to create an awareness of Southeast Asian craft products and its artisans, and to act as a regional forum for craft organizations and practitioners in ASEAN member states to address issues concerning the revitalization, promotion, and development of crafts. Elaine Chan, Secretary-General of AHPADA, talks about her involvement in this, what they do and their plans on taking it to a global stage.
