inCambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Program Outcomes
Theoverarching goal that ASEAN-ACT contributes to is that AMS have
effectivejustice systems that provide just punishment of traffickers and
protect therights of victims. Three end-of-program outcomes (EOPOs) together
contribute tothe 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 capableof
implementing their ACTIP obligations, in particular those that uphold victim
rights.
- EOPO3: AMS justice and related state agencies’ policies and practices are
influenced by relevant stakeholders and better aligned with ACTIP,especially in
connection to victim rights obligations.
Overview
Inimplementing the ACTIP, the Senior Officials Meeting on Transnational Crime
hasled the development of a cross-sectoral, cross-pillar action plan with
variousASEAN Sectoral Bodies/ASEAN Organs (ASBs) that resulted in the Bohol TIP
WorkPlan 2017-2020 (BWP). The BWP is used by ASBs as a reference in
developinginitiatives related to TIP under their respective work plans.
Tosupport the implementation of the BWP, the ASEAN Intergovernmental
Commissionon Human Rights (AICHR), as one of the ASBs, has endorsed a project
on AICHR Capacity Buildingon Human Rights-Based/Gender-Sensitive/Child-Friendly
