ADRRN held its Annual General Meeting on 7 December 2025 in Bangkok, bringing together 70 representatives from 51 member and partner organisations, with additional participation online. The AGM created space to reflect on the year, strengthen collaboration across the network, and set priorities for 2026 grounded in locally led action and practical partnership.

Sessions were designed to be practical, with a strong emphasis on learning across members and hubs, and translating insights into clear directions for 2026.
