Asia-Pacific Journal of Rural Development (APJORD), a half-yearly academic journal, is a flagship publication of CIRDAP. It is devoted to the issues and discussions on rural development, primarily in the Asia-Pacific region.

The journal provides a platform for the academicians, policymakers, NGOs, research scholars and others interested in integrated rural development (IRD), to exchange and share ideas, opinions, field observations, and empirical findings on various facets of rural development.

APJORD focuses on poverty issues and rural transformation, keeping in view the four programme priorities of CIRDAP, namely (i) Agrarian Development; (ii) Institutional/ Infrastructural Development; (iii) Resource Development including Human Resources; and (iv) Employment.

With this interdisciplinary journal, CIRDAP fulfills its mandate as a service institution to its member countries for promoting IRD through dissemination of knowledge.
