The AIM 2020 encompasses eight strategic thrusts that work together to support the advancement of the ASEAN Community. This includes a focus on utilising ICT in the Single Market; it encompasses the importance of New Media and Content, especially on local content creation, in building ASEAN's ICT capacity and capabilities; and it seeks to buttress the regional online ecosystem by providing Information Security and Assurance to the ASEAN Community. Addressing the digital divide – an issue that has only increased in importance and complexity – has now been incorporated into the People Integration and Empowerment through ICT strategic thrust, recognising that this is not a standalone issue of connectivity, but also about accessibility to services and community. In all, the eight interconnected Strategic Thrusts support the Vision and the Outcomes of the AIM 2020.
