The ASEAN Cooperation Plan (ACP) is a US-funded initiative supporting activities that advance mutual \interests in such areas such as trade promotion and transnational crime control. Initiated in August 2002, the ACP aims to:

  1. Strengthen the ASEAN Secretariat;
  2. Build regional cooperation to address transnational challenges including terrorism, human trafficking, and infectious diseases;
  3. Foster ASEAN economic integration and development.
The program has initiated over 20 projects valued at more than $9 million and has brought together a broad cross-section of government agencies, non-government organizations, academic institutions, and private sector entities. Brief descriptions of the following ACP projects are presented in the linked activity summaries.
