ASEAN-US Technical Assistance and Training Facility Phase II (2007-2012)

The ASEAN-US Technical Assistance and Training Facility provides comprehensive support for ASEAN integration through a collaborative, demand driven, and flexible assistance program.

Housed in the ASEAN Secretariat in Jakarta, Indonesia, and funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development and the U.S. Department of State under the ADVANCE program, the Facility will support ASEAN until 2012. The Facility’s strategy is aligned directly with ASEAN’s own Roadmap for an ASEAN Community that incorporates the blueprints for the Political-Security, Economic, and Socio-Cultural Communities.

The Facility has supported a wide variety of ASEAN activities, including the ASEAN Regional Forum, the Human Rights Resource Center for ASEAN, the scorecard for the ASEAN Economic Community Blueprint, customs cooperation, a trade facilitation assessment, and a migrant worker law and regulation repository. The Facility has also supported ASEAN in its response to Cyclone Nargis, delivered training in post-disaster damage assessment and needs analysis, and supported ASEAN’s pandemic preparedness and response program.

Current areas of focus for the Facility include human rights, migrant labor rights, trade facilitation, standards harmonization, climate change, ASEAN awareness, education, disaster management, anti-money laundering, support for trafficked persons, and pandemic preparedness for avian influenza.
