The second decade of the twenty first century sees remarkable social transformations in Asia and the Pacific region. These transformations have been accelerated by the forces of globalization, liberalisation and transnational mobility. The 2016 APSA Conference aims to better understand emerging social issues across Asia and the Pacific. We are calling for abstract submission on these themes;

- the dynamics of globalization
- human mobility and migration
- the conflicts and challenges around the issues of borders
- the role of religion in social transformations and social conflict
- ethnicity, acculturation and the articulation of identity
- agrarian transitions, climate change and local adaptations
- governance and democracy
- resource equity and sustainability
- health and the changing economic context
- education and equity
- human trafficking
- aging
- cultural heritage
- urbanism and public space
- media consumption.

Hosted by the Faculty of Sociology, Royal University of Phnom Penh, together with the Asia and Pacific Sociological Association (APSA), the conference is graciously joined by ASEAN University Network (AUN), Chiang Mai University (CMU) and the University of Sydney (USyd).

USAID awarded the 5-year HIV/AIDS Flagship Project (Flagship) to a consortium of partners. It is led by KHANA (prime), and FHI 360 and PSI/PSK provide technical assistance. The overarching goal of Flagship is to enhance the impact, reduce costs, and improve the effectiveness of the national response through technical innovation and improvements in quality and capacity to deliver sustainable HIV services. The purpose of the evaluation is to assess the project's performance and the extent to which it has been able to meet its intended objectives thus far, document lessons learned and best practices, and make recommendations that inform and improve future program directions and effectiveness.
