SUMMARY ABOUT THE PROJECT

October 2024) funded by Global Affairs Canada (GAC) and managed by
Cowater International. FSSP provides administrative, financial,
procurement, and logistical services as well as support to the
in-country development programming for the Government of Canada through
the provision of technical specialists in gender equality, governance
and human rights, and environment and climate action and assisting DFATD

under the FSSP will support GAC in responding to the needs and
priorities of Indonesia and the ASEAN region, policy dialogue and
knowledge building and sharing.
BACKGROUND
The
ASEAN Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women
and Children (ACWC), one of ASEAN Sectoral bodies, was inaugurated on 7
April 2010 in Ha Noi, Viet Nam, on the occasion of the 16th ASEAN
Summit. The ACWC comprises twenty (20) Representatives, two (2) from
each ASEAN Member State for women’s rights and children’s rights. Each
ACWC Representative serves a term of three years and may be re-appointed
for another term by their respective government.
At the 17th
ACWC Meeting held on 19 September 2018 in Ha Noi, Viet Nam, the ACWC
Representatives adopted the “Strategy to Develop the ACWC Work Plan
2021-2025”. The strategy provides that the process of developing the
next five-year work plan would be guided by the following principles: i)
the work plan would be strategy-driven, comprehensive and purposive;
ii) the process of developing the work plan would be consultative and
inclusive; and iii) that the initiatives in the work plan would be
integrated and responsive to current issues and emerging trends on
promoting and protecting the rights of women and children. The strategy
also provides the following approaches in the development of the next
five-year work plan: i) coherent, programmatic and results-oriented; ii)
streamlined and synergistic; and iii) collaborative and participative.
Based on the foregoing, the following milestones were identified:
a. ACWC Visioning Workshop (2019).
The workshop will provide a venue for ACWC Representatives to discuss
the strategic thematic areas of work in the next five years. In
translating the discussion to concrete initiatives, the ACWC
Representatives would discuss the guide to develop the concept note of
the proposed initiatives, the outline of the ACWC Work Plan 2021-2025,
and the elements of its M&E system and results framework.
b. Inter-sessional activities (2019-2020).
After the visioning workshop, the ACWC Representatives, with the
support of partners and ASEAN Secretariat, will develop the concept
notes for the specific regional initiatives and multi-year programmes.
This will also be the time when ACWC Representatives can consult one
another to ensure synergy and complementarity of the initiatives, as
well as consult with civil society organisations, the academe, private
sector and other stakeholders.
c. Workshop on the development of the ACWC Work Plan 2021-2025 (2020).
At this workshop, ACWC Representatives would deliberate and finalise
the regional initiatives that would be included in the new work plan.
During the 17th
ACWC Meeting, the ACWC Representatives requested ASEAN Secretariat to
develop a detailed timeline and outline of the activities necessary to
achieve the milestones. Also, the ACWC Representatives gave the
following guidance, among others:
a. The
development of the ACWC accomplishment report, on the occasion of its
10th anniversary, should cover the implementation of the ACWC Work Plan
2010-2015 and the ACWC Work Plan 2016-2020; and
b. The
development of the concept notes of proposed initiatives should be
driven by an organisational vision, clearly state the objectives and
intended outcomes, as well as identify the supporting ASEAN partner or
partners.
The
Mission of Canada to ASEAN has been a longstanding partner of ASEAN on
numerous development issues, including the promotion and protection of
the rights of women and children. In particular, Canada has been
supporting ASEAN’s efforts at building capacities on promoting gender
equality and the empowerment of women and girls.
The
ongoing development of ACWC’s next five-year work plan, including the
process of reviewing and concluding its current work plan, presents a
strategic moment for partnership between ACWC and Canada. Through this
partnership, ACWC and Canada can work together on building on the gains
from ACWC’s accomplishments through the implementation of its work plan,
and strategically designing the new work plan that would cover the
period 2021-2025.
