The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) was founded in 1967 with the purpose of promoting regional cooperation in Southeast Asia, in the spirit of equality and partnership and thereby contribute towards peace, progress, and prosperity in the region. It was proclaimed a Community through the “Kuala Lumpur Declaration on ASEAN 2025: Forging Ahead Together”, signed by the ASEAN Leaders during their 27th Summit in November 2015, calling the ASEAN Community to work towards building a community that is politically cohesive, economically integrated and socially responsible.
In 22 November 2015, ASEAN Leaders during the 27th ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia adopted the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC) Blueprint 2025. The ASCC Blueprint 2025 serves as the strategy and planning mechanism of the ASCC in developing and strengthening coherent policy frameworks and institutions to advance human development, social justice and rights, social protection and welfare, environmental sustainability and ASEAN awareness, and to narrow the development gap.
The ASEAN Secretariat was established in 1976 by the Foreign Ministers of ASEAN, with the basic function of providing greater efficiency in the coordination of ASEAN organs and for more effective implementation of ASEAN projects and activities, and envisioned to be the nerve center of a strong and confident ASEAN Community.
The ASEAN Secretariat regularly monitors the progress of the ASCC Blueprint 2025 implementation along its key results areas and corresponding strategic measures. An ASCC Database for Monitoring and Evaluation System (ADME) will be established to further support the collection and measurement of the Blueprint’s indicators and socio-cultural indicators relevant to ASCC.
