DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK
C.1 PURPOSE
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Indonesia ASEAN Office and the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs work in partnership with ASEAN to support the ASEAN Community Vision 2025 through this activity entitled “The ASEAN-USAID Partnership for Regional Optimization with the Political-Security and Socio-Cultural Communities
(ASEAN-USAID PROSPECT).”
The purpose of this activity is to provide support for ASEAN’s objective of building a more inclusive, rules-based, and prosperous Southeast Asia by engaging the services of the Contractor to advance the U.S. Government to increase ASEAN’s capacity to resolve regional and global challenges and advance an effective, rules-based architecture for cooperation among governments in the region to uphold human dignity and the rule of law.
The activity will provide technical assistance, training, workshops and other resources to strengthen the capacity of targeted ASEAN institutions, including the ASEAN Secretariat (ASEC) as well as other ASEAN institutions and sectoral bodies. Activities will provide targeted assistance to enable these bodies, and therefore ASEAN as a whole, develop effective multi-lateral policy standards and agreements, and strengthen its ability to implement these policies.
C.2 BACKGROUND
ASEAN Institution
ASEAN was founded on August 8, 1967 by Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand as a means of facilitating economic, political, military, educational and cultural integration. In addition to spurring economic development and social progress, the organization also seeks to provide a mechanism for peaceful resolution of differences and to promote regional stability. Since its formation, it has expanded to include Brunei Darussalam, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, and Cambodia, bringing its current membership to ten countries. The ASEAN region includes nearly 650 million people and has a GDP (as of 2016) of over $2.8 trillion.
Over the past 50 years, ASEAN has made significant advances in security and stability among ASEAN Member States (AMS). This stability has allowed the region to focus on economic development and other areas of transnational cooperation. Consequently, ASEAN has become a key regional institution for rule-making and fostering peace and stability in Southeast Asia. However, ASEAN has no supranational authority over its members. Rather, it functions as a framework for collaboration and cooperation.
The requirement that all ASEAN decisions be consensus-based, along with the ASEAN principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other AMS, consistently affects the timeliness and quality of ASEAN agreements. The only way to increase ASEAN’s effectiveness within these parameters is to address its underlying governance capacity. ASEC facilitates the activities of ASEAN’s various sectoral bodies, but ASEC cannot enforce agreements. In addition to this lack of authority, ASEC has limited capacity to support ASEAN bodies and the AMS or to effectively coordinate activities across sectors. In addition, the ASEAN region is extraordinarily prone to natural disasters; the costs of such disasters pose both short- and long-term threats to economic development as well as social structures and the environment.
Section D – Page 14
In 2015, ASEAN leaders endorsed the ASEAN Community Vision 2025, which articulates ASEAN goals and aspirations to achieve further consolidation, integration and strong cohesion, striving towards establishment of an association that is more “politically cohesive, economically integrated, and socially responsible.” The Vision established three distinct ASEAN “communities”1:
▪ The ASEAN Political-Security Community, which seeks to create a rules-based community of shared values and norms; a cohesive, peaceful, stable and resilient region with a shared responsibility toward comprehensive security; and a dynamic and outward-looking region with deepened cooperation with external parties. A critical element of this is the strengthening ASEAN’s institutional capacity through improved work processes and coordination.
▪ The ASEAN Economic Community, which seeks to build and strengthen a highly integrated and cohesive regional economy within the global economic system. It aims to do so by focusing on creation of a single market and production base, a highly competitive region, fair economic development and integration into the world economy. Free movement of skilled labor, goods, services and investment will enable ASEAN to rise globally as one market with each member gaining from each other's strengths.
▪ The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community, which seeks to build an inclusive, sustainable, resilient and dynamic community through accountable and inclusive governance. This includes promoting improved quality of life, equitable access to opportunities for all, and protecting human rights, with particular emphasis on the rights of women, children, youth and other vulnerable and marginalized groups. It also seeks to promote social development and environmental protection; build enhanced capacity and capability to adapt and respond to social and economic vulnerability, disasters, climate change, and other emerging threats and challenges;
and promote awareness and pride in an ASEAN identity, culture and heritage.
The implementation the ASEAN Vision blueprint will require effective institutions that have the capacity to develop, promote, and implement policy consistently and effectively. Recognizing these needs, the AMS included a subcategory in the Vision document entitled “Moving Forward,” which implicitly acknowledged weaknesses in ASEAN’s institutional capacity to process and coordinate the work of the association. Therefore, ASEAN institutions must be strengthened to help resolve regional challenges, become increasingly integrated, and advance a rules-based architecture that upholds human dignity and the rule of law.
U.S Relations with ASEAN
The United States has had an official relationship with ASEAN since 1977. The U.S. is on of ten official ASEAN “dialogue partners,” meaning the U.S. has a seat at the table in some ASEAN discussions without being a voting member; The U.S. is also a member of ASEAN-centered fora such as the East Asia Summit and the ASEAN Regional Forum. For forty-one years, the U.S and ASEAN have cooperated in trade, economic and social development, people-to-people connections, institutional strengthening, national security, defense, science and technology, and education.
The United States was the very first non-ASEAN country to name an Ambassador to ASEAN in 2008. In June 2010, the United States became the first non-ASEAN country to establish a dedicated Mission to ASEAN in Jakarta and in 2011 the first resident Ambassador to ASEAN was appointed. The United States and ASEAN relationship was elevated to a Strategic Partnership in recognition of the importance of the cooperation in 2015. The partnership focuses on five areas including supporting economic

Section D – Page 15 integration, expanding maritime cooperation, cultivating ASEAN emerging leaders, promoting opportunity for ASEAN women, and addressing transnational challenges.
C.3 PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES
As an official dialogue partner of ASEAN, the United States is working closely with ASEC and other ASEAN sectoral bodies to promote the institutional capacity within each of the three communities. This activity will specifically support the Political-Security Community and the Socio-Cultural Community.
This activity will focus on improving the capacity of targeted ASEAN institutions, sectoral bodies, and ASEC offices. With each of these bodies, effective international policy standards and agreements will be developed through targeted support services, which will in turn help to strengthen the ability of the ASEAN bodies to implement these policies. The activity is part of the U.S. Government’s overall program designed to provide comprehensive support to all three ASEAN communities. This activity and its activity components will primarily contribute to Development Objective (DO) 1 and 3 under the USAID Development Cooperation Framework for ASEAN as seen in Figure 1 below.
Figure 1: ASEAN Development Cooperation Framework
More specifically, the ASEAN-USAID PROSPECT Activity will contribute to achieve the following Development Objectives:
● (DO1) ASEAN and its Member States More Capably and Frequently Contribute to Resolving Regional and Global Challenges: Rapid economic growth and regional integration have come with additional transnational challenges. Human trafficking, irregular labor migration, illegal fishing, wildlife trafficking, violent extremism, natural disasters and health threats are among the most pressing challenges to long term sustainable economic growth in Southeast Asia. Although
Section D – Page 16 national efforts are indispensable, a regional, ASEAN-wide approach is necessary to effectively address these transboundary challenges and threats.
● (DO3) ASEAN and its Member States Advance an Effective, Rules-based Architecture to Uphold
Human Dignity and the Rule of Law: Important development outcomes have been achieved from the regional integration facilitated through ASEAN. However, more needs to be done to secure benefits, social protection, justice, and human rights to reduce persisting inequalities, including gender-based violence and limited opportunities to benefit from regional economic growth. High youth unemployment and underemployment persists, presenting conditions that can create instability such as violent extremism. Civil society organizations (CSOs) represent these vulnerable groups, but are mostly in early developmental stages. Increased community political engagement, including through civil society organizations, and consistent rules-based good governance systems will contribute to reducing long-term risks. This will require ASEAN and AMS to engage with non-state actors and civil society more effectively in decision-making, and increase citizens’ access to justice.
C.4 OVERVIEW OF ACTIVITY OBJECTIVES & TASKS
The Contractor must provide targeted support to priority sectoral bodies within ASEAN to contribute toward the achievement of the Development Objectives. Specifically, the Contractor must focus efforts of support to contributing to the achievement of the following activity objectives:
Activity Objective 1: Help ASEAN to take a united, collaborative and proactive approach to addressing transnational challenges relevant to human security (such as human trafficking, labor migration, or violent extremism), and potentially other relevant transnational issues such as wildlife trafficking. – Approximately 15% of activity effort.
Activity Objective 2: Enable a more robust response to emerging humanitarian crises, particularly relating to natural disasters. – Approximately 15% of activity effort.
Activity Objective 3: Address governance gaps within ASEAN and the AMS to strengthen their ability to implement and enforce existing or future whole-of-ASEAN conventions and agreements. This must be achieved by working with all three branches of ASEAN governance (judicial, legislative, and executive). – Approximately 30% of activity effort.
Activity Objective 4: Strengthen civil society engagement and influence on critical issues being addressed within the ASEAN context – Approximately 10% of activity effort; and
Activity Objective 5: Expand rights and opportunities for women, youth, and other vulnerable and marginalized groups – Approximately 30% of activity effort.
While this appears to be a broad selection of different objectives, all of them share a common theme – institutional governance strengthening of the ASEAN sectoral bodies that are working toward these results.
The services implemented by the Contractor will all be a form of targeted technical assistance or institutional support aimed at enhancing the ability of the sectoral body to reach these objectives. The Contractor must also consider prioritizing activities/interventions that help work toward more than one of the activity objectives where there is clear overlap within ASEAN institutional efforts or among sectoral bodies. In addition, some limited support may be given to non-ASEAN bodies, namely Civil Society
Section D – Page 17
Organizations (CSOs), to enhance their capacity to interact effectively with ASEAN and ASEAN sectoral bodies, and to contribute toward achieving the objectives of this activity.
Common among all activity objectives is a series of tasks which will enable the Contractor to effectively engage with ASEAN bodies to achieve the objectives. The Contractor must focus on these four tasks, which will be consistent towards achieving the activity objectives:
Task 1: Develop and maintain strong working relationships with the key actors in identified ASEAN sectoral bodies.
Task 2: Work with those sectoral bodies to obtain official ASEAN endorsement (approval to move forward with activity implementation) of support activities.
Task 3: Work with other dialogue and development partners, as well as the AMS, to leverage financial and other types of support for these activities.
Task 4: Implement the activities as an equal partner with the representatives on the ASEAN sectoral bodies.
Following this approach and pattern to working with the sectoral bodies will help reach the activity objectives.
The Contractor must have an appropriate and effective approach to partnering with and strengthening each relevant ASEAN sectoral body relevant to activity outputs. The activities implemented by the Contractor will all be a form of targeted technical assistance or institutional support aimed at enhancing the ability of the sectoral body to reach the activity objectives. While this typically is accomplished at the ASEAN sectoral body level, there may be some instances identified where specific, national-level support will be provided by the Contractor within select AMS. The Contractor has the responsibility to identify such opportunities in tandem with their support to the ASEAN sectoral bodies.
The Contractor must also provide insight on how to harmonize gender considerations across sectoral bodies. As part of the Contractor’s engagement with each sectoral body, it must help to identify current efforts, gaps, and opportunities for promoting gender equality and the mainstreaming of gender-focused institutional practices within ASEAN. The level of effort put into this analysis and incorporation of gender into specific activity components will be contextualized based on each sectoral body engaged.
C.5 ACTIVITY COMPONENTS AND OUTPUTS
The five activity objectives outlined above correspond to five activity outputs, which are described below.
These five outputs are categorized under two activity components, which correspond to the two development objectives - DO1 and DO3 - listed above.
C.5.1 Component 1: Build ASEAN and AMS Capacity to Resolve Regional and Global Challenges
The Contractor must contribute to achieving DO1, which is improving ASEAN and AMS capacity to resolve regional and global challenges. This particularly pertains to transnational challenges that directly threaten human safety and security. The Contractor must provide technical assistance and institutional support to relevant ASEAN bodies to build their capacity to manage transnational challenges, including, but not limited to, violent extremism, trafficking in persons, and disaster management.
Section D – Page 18
Output 1.1: Advance capacity to prevent violent extremism and combat transnational crimes
ASEAN political-security cooperation aims to strengthen a peaceful, secure and stable region. Growing levels of violent extremism and human trafficking threaten advances toward this objective. ASEAN must develop its capacity to curb security challenges from international terrorism. An estimated 1,000 fighters from Southeast Asia, especially Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines, have joined the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS)2. These fighters, after returning home, frequently join existing extremist cells or form new ones with the aim of advancing their violent agenda across the AMS. The 2017 outbreak of violence in the city of Marawi demonstrated this phenomenon; ISIS-affiliated fighters from Malaysia, Indonesia, and other countries engaged in a five-month urban battle with the goal of establishing an Islamic State province within the Philippines. The Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia and Myanmar ranked 12th, 15th, 38th and 45th respectively in the 2016 Global Terrorism Index.
ASEAN leaders signed the ASEAN Convention on Counter-Terrorism in 2007, which has now been ratified by all ten AMS. To respond to the increase in violence, ASEAN endorsed a declaration to counter the rise of radicalization and violent extremism in 20173. The declaration acknowledged the role of civil society in preventing violent extremism and in pursuing strong collaboration with ASEAN Dialogue Partners, related international organizations and other stakeholders through the exchange of experiences, lessons learned and best practices in addressing radicalization and violent extremism.
Supporting ASEAN in countering violent extremism is a new area of engagement for the U.S.
Government, meaning that the initial outputs of the activity will include working across multiple ASEAN bodies to identify a feasible way forward to provide institutional support in this sector.
The ASEAN Convention on Trafficking in Persons (ACTIP) was signed in late 2015 and came into force in early 2017 after ratification by six countries. Human trafficking is a key challenge in the region and ACTIP provides a framework for building capacity, adapting domestic laws and practices, and increasing awareness in all AMS of the need to reduce human trafficking in the region. The ASEAN Committee on the Protection of Women and Children (ACWC) followed up ACTIP by conducting a regional review of law and policies related to trafficking in persons within AMS4. This review provides an assessment of the current situation and is assisting ASEAN institutions and AMS in efforts to improve national and regional responses in assisting victims of trafficking5. The 2017 State Department TIP Report put the Philippines as the only AMS at Tier 1. Malaysia’s rank improved from Tier 2 Watch List to Tier 2, joining Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Singapore and Vietnam. Myanmar joined Laos and Thailand on the Tier 2 Watch List, an improvement from Tier 3 status the previous year. In addition, women and girls in the ASEAN region are more vulnerable to becoming victims of trafficking, constituting 52% and 26% respectively of all identified victims in East Asia and Pacific (UNODC, 2016). ACTIP emphasizes protection of women and children but AMS has legal diversity on identifying victims of trafficking.
While ASEAN has established these Conventions on Counter Terrorism and Trafficking in Persons, continual work is needed to promote full adaptation and compliance at the national level within AMS.

ASEAN oversees this process and multiple sectoral bodies are engaged with the AMS national governments. In order to support the ASEAN bodies in this effort, the Contractor must help establish more detailed guidance for implementation by the sectoral bodies. This guidance will help to describe technical policies, and provide tools for helping AMS harmonize national-level policies with convention standards. To provide this guidance, the Contractor must consult with the relevant ASEAN sectoral bodies and select the most appropriate and realistic areas to be addressed. Given that these issues have been shown to disproportionately affect women in ASEAN, the Contractor must prioritize guidance that addresses issues most critical to the rights of women.
The role of civil society in ASEAN when it comes to combatting violent extremism and trafficking in persons is limited. Closely related to Output 2.2 below, the Contractor must engage civil society as part of interventions designed with the ASEAN bodies to address these issues. The Contractor will support workshops and meetings that facilitate this important interaction between and among the ASEAN sectoral bodies, alongside civil society.
The following are interventions that the Contractor must pursue to combat violent extremism and transnational crimes. While the output had been identified as a priority in consultation with ASEAN, undertaking these interventions will require endorsement by the sectoral bodies at the time when work plans are developed. Therefore, reasonable adaptation to endorsement processes may be required in order to ensure that all activities have been properly endorsed. This applies to the interventions for all output areas of ASEAN-USAID PROSPECT:
● Facilitate active civil society and private sector participation and engagement in ASEAN sectoral body processes and activities.
● Identify ASEAN sectoral bodies most likely to effectively prevent and counter the growing threat of violent extremism within ASEAN, and identify effective means of institutional support.
● Facilitate ASEAN dialogue and events that involve multiple ASEAN sectoral bodies to ensure that efforts to reduce transnational crimes are more holistic and cooperative in their approaches.
● Provide technical support to provide updates AMS national level on the review of laws and policies related to trafficking in persons. If appropriate, provide training or workshops to the sectoral bodies that help institutionalize these updates into their work.
Illustrative indicators:
● Number of new ASEAN policies developed in consultation with civil society organizations.
● Number of participants in workshops or trainings on preventing violent extremism.
● Number of coordination meetings on combatting transnational crimes.
● Number of updates to laws and policies on combatting trafficking in persons.
● Number of CSO participants in meetings of ASEAN bodies.
● Number of tools, laws, policies, or procedures drafted, proposed or adopted to promote women’s economic empowerment or to prevent violence against women
Output 1.2: Strengthen implementation of ASEAN Vision 2025 provisions regarding disaster management
The ASEAN region is extraordinarily prone to natural disasters; the costs of such disasters pose both short- and long-term threats to economic development as well as social structures and the environment.
The ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response (AADMER),6 which entered into force in December 2009, has served as a framework for regional cooperation, coordinating AMS assets to respond regionally to disasters. The AADMER establishes the foundation for the ASEAN

Section D – Page 20
Coordinating Centre for Humanitarian Assistance and Emergency Response (AHA Centre) to facilitate cooperation and coordination for regional disaster preparedness and joint disaster response operations.
In 2015, ASEAN Vision 2025 on Disaster Management7 was endorsed as a strategic policy document to provide a roadmap for progress over the next ten years. It identified the key areas to help enable implementation of AADMER by 2025, applying a people-centered, financially sustainable, and networked approach. The ASEAN Committee on Disaster Management (ACDM) has developed a work program for 2016-20208 to implement the Vision and AADMER, with the objective of building a resilient ASEAN community. As part of the work program, ACDM endorsed the ASEAN Joint Disaster Response Plan to build national capacities and to coordinate AMS responses to disasters.
The AHA Centre and ASEC are in regular coordination with the dialogue partners, including the United States, to identify means of contributing to the AADMER work program. The Contractor must identify gaps and opportunities among support provided by the other Dialogue Partners, and then provide targeted technical assistance to help address those needs. The Contractor must prioritize efforts to implement the ASEAN Joint Disaster Response Plan (AJDRP) and the ASEAN Standardization and Certification for Experts in Disaster Management (ASCEND). The Contractor must provide technical assistance to AHA Centre as the body that implements AADMER. This technical assistance will take the form of workshops or trainings on specific skills for AHA Centre staff and the AMS National Disaster Management Offices (NDMOs). The Contractor must facilitate coordination between the AHA Centre and the NDMOs. This may result in possibilities to work at the national level to synchronize regional and national disaster response systems. The Contractor must promote private sector engagement in relevant discussions and policy development exercises.
The following are interventions that the Contractor must pursue to improve ASEAN disaster management; reasonable adaptation is anticipated in order to ensure that all activities are properly endorsed:
● Provide technical support for the implementation of AADMER and its work programs.
● Continue support for implementation of the ASEAN Joint Disaster Response Plan.
● Provide technical assistance to the AHA Centre.
● Number of regional disaster management policies and plans developed and implemented to promote coordinated responses to natural disasters.
● Number of private-sector/CSO collaborative actions taken with ASEAN bodies.
