programming in Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Myanmar (currentlyon hold), the
Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Program Outcomes
Theoverarching goal that ASEAN-ACT contributes to is that ASEAN Member States
haveeffective justice systemsthat provide just punishment of traffickers and
protect the rights of victims. Three interrelated end-of-programoutcomes
(EOPOs) contribute to the achievement of this goal by 2028:
- EOPO1:ASEAN’s planning, monitoring and reporting of ACTIP implementation
isincreasingly effective and advances the protection of victim rights.
- EOPO2:AMS justice and related state agencies are increasingly capable of
implementingtheir ACTIP obligations, in particular those that uphold victim
rights.
- EOPO3:AMS justice and related state agencies’ policies and practices are
influencedby relevant stakeholders and better aligned with ACTIP, especially
inconnection to victim rights obligations.
Overview
In implementing the ACTIP, the Senior OfficialsMeeting on Transnational Crime
has led the development of a cross-sectoral,cross-pillar action plan with
various ASEAN Sectoral Bodies/ASEAN Organs (ASBs)that resulted in the Bohol TIP

developing initiatives related to TIP under theirrespective work plans.

Human Rights (AICHR), as one of the ASBs, hasendorsed a project on AICHR-SOMTC
