Does it provoke an attack of opportunity?

If you have a Handy Haversack Drawing does not provoke.
Using does not provoke.
Activation: Wands use the spell trigger activation method, so casting a spell from a wand is usually a standard action that doesn't provoke attacks of opportunity. (If the spell being cast has a longer casting time than 1 action, however, it takes that long to cast the spell from a wand.) To activate a wand, a character must hold it in hand (or whatever passes for a hand, for non-humanoid creatures) and point it in the general direction of the target or area. A wand may be used while grappling or while swallowed whole.

Actually they don't, assuming the wand is carried in a way that makes it easy to reach. Drawing a weapon action does not provoke AoO and can be used to draw a wand:
Drawing a weapon so that you can use it in combat, or putting it away so that you have a free hand, requires a move action. This action also applies to weapon-like objects carried in easy reach, such as wands. If your weapon or weapon-like object is stored in a pack or otherwise out of easy reach, treat this action as retrieving a stored item.
Activating wielded wand is using spell-trigger item which does not provoke AoO.

If a wand is in an easily accessible location, it can be drawn as a weapon. Drawing a weapon does not provoke. Therefore, drawing a wand does not provoke. Retrieving a wand from elsewhere does provoke.
