The ASCC Blueprint 2016-2025 (‘the Blueprint’) is a guideline for ASEAN Member States (AMS) as they pursue their collective vision for an ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community that engages and benefits ASEAN’s peoples, and which is inclusive, sustainable, resilient, and dynamic. At the midpoint of the Blueprint’s implementation, this Midterm Review (MTR) has been completed as part of the monitoring and evaluation process.

The review will take stock and offer feedback on the implementation of the Blueprint, describe how far the ASCC has progressed from the 2016 baseline and detail how far it is from achieving its targets. The MTR will also document how the ASCC Pillar has interacted and collaborated with ASEAN’s other Pillars to realise ASEAN Vision 2025: Forging Ahead Together.
