Our Visions

(i) OFAP aims to assist families in the Asia Pacific region, at different levels, so as to defend and to promote their interests, as well as to liaise with governments and international communities; at the UN level, OFAP aims to be the liaison between the families of the AsiaPacific Region and the UN and its designate agencies in achieving UN strategies and activities.
   
(ii) As Family Concerns ara different and prioritised according to cultures and socio economic development, OFAP identified three major concerns which it feels to be non controversial and transversal throughout the World, so as to focus it's priorities, as follows:
  (a) drugs, namely the new synthetic drugs and youth;
  (b) social and human sustainable development, with special incidence in crime, corruption and human trafficking; and
  (c) environment protection and climate change, correlated with migration of population and refugees.

 

Accomplishment


(1) OFAP is statutorily a non-profit organization, but to chieve an adequately recognised official status, it aimed for a full tax-exempt status, which was recently chieved by a declaration of "Public Utility" by the Government, published in the Official Gazette.
     
(2) Networking being an indispensible tool, OFAP has selected key members and established cross membership with choice entities. As drugs has been established as a main priority, a cross memeberhsip and cooperation was formally set with IFNGO - The International Federation of NGOs for the Prevention of Drug and Substance Abuse - with ECOSOC Consultative Status ("Observer B"). This cooperation was fully developed, when the President of OFAP assumed also the Presidency of IFNGO, thus aquiring a seamless integration between the Family and drug concerns. Similarly, working relations have begun with other reputable entities, such as ANCD - Australian National Commission on Drugs - setting up the next phase and level of activities for OFAP.
     
(3) Similarly, a closer relationship with UN and other High International Bodies was a major goal, namely
with the UNODC (in Vienna), with OFAP now currently member in good standing of the VNGOCD (Vienna NGO Commitee on Drugs).
     
(4) Further to developing this networking, many projects activities were planned and executed, of which the most successfull were:
  (A) Consultancy and assistance to the Abu Dhabi Family Development Foundation for the creation of the Abu Dhabi World Family Forum, now waiting for the final stage of implementation.
  (B) Full support for the "Beyond 2008" consultion process (on drug policies), in partnership with the
UNOCD, including hosting the Asia Pacific consultation meeting, as well as the publishing of the book (final report) "Making a Difference", which was officially presented at the UNODC headquarters in Vienna.
  (C) Creation of an International Observatory of Family Concerns, with particular incidence on our three priorities. This observatory will start activities presently, on collecting data, analysing this data, and achieving conclusions from the research, available for recommendations, as it managed to have in hands the funding as well as adequate premises and equipment.
