QUEZON CITY, May 30 (PIA) -- Communication and information sector representatives of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member-states will meet in Manila, Philippines to draft an effective communication plan towards one and united ASEAN community.

The Technical Working Group Meeting for an Effective Communication Plan in support of ASEAN Community Building Efforts will be on June 5 to 8 at the Asian Institute of Management in Makati City to recommend an effective communication plan using media channels available in each Member-State.

The project will be implemented under the ASEAN Ministers Responsible for Information (AMRI), with the Philippines as the Country Coordinator and Project Manager.

The Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) will host the meeting. Other PCOO attached agencies, Philippine Information Agency and the Office of ASEAN Affairs will provide Secretariat support.

As country coordinator, the Philippines will be responsible for the implementation of the project, collation of meeting outputs, evaluation of the project against the objectives and reporting to AMRI and to ASEAN’s Sub-Committee on Information.

In 2000, ASEAN member-states convened in Manila to work out a Communication Plan. A memorandum of understanding (MOU) was endorsed to ASEAN Ministers Responsible for Information in Hanoi, Vietnam on October 13, 2000.

The MOU aims to put in place a more effective coordination, monitoring, evaluation and reporting system for the implementation of the National Communication Plan to promote ASEAN; to integrate ASEAN promotion programs in regular activities of the Ministers Responsible for Information of ASEAN Member Countries; and to establish a National Information Desk in the Ministry Responsible for Information in each ASEAN Member Country.

The AMRI has created the Technical Working Group in March 1, 2012 to study communication needs and recommend a communication plan using ASEAN’s available resources. (ASEAN)
