The first leadership training program of the WSCF-AP was conducted in 1970 by the name of ALDEC (Asia Leadership Development Center on Christian Ministry in the University) that continued until 1975.

In 1977, the leadership training program developed to ASFOR(Asian Secretaries Formation). In 1982, the HRD (Human Resource Development) program replaced the ASFOR.

From 1992 onward, SET (Student Empowerment for Transformation) program has been organized as a "leadership formation for students".

In 2001, WSCF-AP has initiated a new leadership formation program, SELF (School for Ecumenical Leadership Formation) for front line leaders of the SCMs in the region.

The Human Rights and Solidarity Programs with the marginalized people in the region has been one of the major concerns of the WSCF-AP since the office moved from Geneva to Tokyo in 1969. In order to respond to Human Rights concerns, the region set up the Asia Forum on Human Rights (1979) and Political Commission (1982), later on in 1980, the region appointed Human Rights coordinators on voluntary basis.

In this category, one can read about the region's major publications concerning human rights, this includes topics such as reports of various workshops, fact-finding missions, reflection papers on human rights issues, theological reflections, statements on the critical human rights events such as the Tiananmen Square Uprising.

The partnership between WSCF and Christian Conference of Asia was initiated in 1966. The cooperation was a commitment to a common ecumenical vision and strategy for student ministry in the region. To achieve this goal, the WSCF-AP and CCA held many regional and national consultations. In this category, you can read about the reports of the WSCF-CCA joint consultations.
