The ASCC Database for Monitoring and Evaluation (ADME) System aims to (1) provide timely and reliable data for monitoring progress and assessing the outcomes of the ASCC Blueprint 2025 and the ASCC Post -2025 Strategic Plan; (2) strengthen the statistical capacity of ASCC Sectoral Bodies and their monitoring and evaluation officers collecting, compiling, processing, analysing, and visualising data to measure and show the progress made by their respective programmes; and (3) increase cross-pillar, cross-sectoral, and AMS coordination to improve the availability of quality data for ASEAN’s socio-cultural indicators.

The ADME System is a comprehensive and secure web-based database system of ASCC with corresponding dashboard consistent with Blueprint indicators and socio-cultural indicators relevant to the ASCC. The database system is organised into three sections, each corresponding to a specific metadata:

• Database A is comprised of the Framework for Reporting on ASCC Sectoral Bodies’ Implementation of the Sectoral Work Plans (Tool 1), Monitoring Matrix of the Follow-up Actions to Declarations (Tool 2), and the ASCC Blueprint 2025 Results Framework Monitoring Database (RFMD).
• Daatabase B contains socio-cultural indicators that are relevant to the ASCC. Data for these socio-cultural indicators are collected by reputable organisations such as ASEANStats, the United Nations, the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, and other international organisations.
• Database C is the ASEAN Socio-cultural Administrative Records-Based Monitoring Database (ARBMD) and comprises administrative records collected and maintained by the ASCC Sectoral Bodies in ASEAN Member States.
