The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Secretariat is the
nerve centre of ASEAN, a regional inter-governmental organisation
founded in 1967, to promote peace and stability, sustained economic
growth, shared prosperity and social progress. It comprises the ten
countries of Southeast Asia.
The entry into force of the ASEAN Charter on 15 December 2008 has provided new impetus to ASEAN’s integration efforts by establishing a legal and institutional framework required to achieve the ASEAN Community by 2015. This includes the newly approved organisational structure of the ASEAN Secretariat that is aligned to the requirements of the Charter and the three Blueprints of the ASEAN Political-Security Community (APSC), ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), and ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC). The ASEAN Secretariat is therefore well positioned to provide the necessary functions required to effectively support the community building process under the Charter and the Blueprints.
Currently ASEC is looking for qualified candidates to fill the position of Technical Officer under the Disaster Management and Humanitarian Assistance Division; Cross-Sectoral Cooperation Directorate; ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC) Department.
