The APEC Secretariat is based in Singapore and operates as the core support mechanism for the APEC process. It provides coordination, technical and advisory support as well as information management, communications and public outreach services.
The APEC Secretariat performs a central project management role, assisting APEC Member Economies and APEC fora with overseeing more than 230 APEC-funded projects. APEC's annual budget is also administered by the APEC Secretariat.
Staffing
The APEC Secretariat is headed by an Executive Director and a Deputy Executive Director. These positions are filled by officers of Ambassadorial rank from the current and incoming host economies respectively. The positions rotate annually. For 2008, the Executive Director is Ambassador Juan Carlos Capuñay from Peru.
The APEC Secretariat is staffed by a small team of
program directors
, seconded from APEC Member Economies. In addition, professional staff fulfill specialist and support functions at the APEC Secretariat.
ISO Certification
In 2002, the APEC Secretariat obtained ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management Certification. This recognises the continuous efforts made by the APEC Secretariat to provide improved administrative and support activities. The APEC Secretariat is the first multilateral trade-related secretariat to attain ISO certification.
