ASEAN vision 2025 on disaster management
The ASEAN Vision 2025 on Disaster Management charts the strategic direction that ASEAN needs to embark on in the next 10 years.
The ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response (AADMER), which came into force in December 2009, set the foundation for regional cooperation, coordination, technical assistance, and resource mobilisation in all aspects of disaster management and emergency response.
As the region faces a continued evolution of the humanitarian landscape and nature of disasters, this strategic policy document outlines the directions that may be considered by ASEAN in the next 10 years. It identifies the key areas to move the implementation of AADMER forward to a people-centred, people-oriented, financially sustainable, and networked approach by 2025. These include further strengthening the AHA Centre’s role as the main coordinating body for disaster management, and to realise the vision of ‘One ASEAN One Response’.
Three mutually-inclusive strategic elements are put forward to guide the direction of the implementation of
AADMER to 2025:
- Institutionalisation and Communications,
- Finance and Resource Mobilisation, and
- Partnerships and Innovations
