ASEAN CONFERENCE ON CIVIL SERVICE MATTERS
(ACCSM) WORK PLAN (2008-2015)
1. INTRODUCTION
The ACCSM is committed to supporting the establishment of the ASEAN Community
by 2015 by continuing to develop effective, capable, accountable and responsive civil
services in ASEAN as reflected on its Mission Statement adopted at the 10th ACCSM
Meeting in Thailand in 1999. The ACCSM acknowledged the need to continue efforts
to enhance the quality of civil service that meets the challenges of regional integration
and community building.
Public Administration is entrusted with the responsibility of providing effective
government through greater public participation, more responsive organisational
structures, quality systems, a competent workforce, a learning environment,
empowerment and governance. In this regard, the ACCSM has provided a forum for
the sharing of cutting-edge practices in public management towards enhancing public
service management in ASEAN.
Implementation of the ACCSM Work Plan (2008-2015) will take into account the ASEAN
Leaders’ directives, such as the ASEAN Vision 2020, Bali Concord II, the Vientiane
Action Programme and its subsequent revisions, Initiative for ASEAN Integration (IAI),
relevant decisions of other ASEAN forums and current challenges of civil service in the
region. The ACCSM Work Plan is included in the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community
(ASCC) Blueprint, with considerations incorporated in response to the initiatives in the
political and security, and economic pillars.

2. THE IMPORTANCE OF CIVIL SERVICE
ASEAN recognises the important role of civil service in all aspects of national
development and regional cooperation, including political, economic, social, human
resource and institutional development. The Civil Service provides the back bone for
governance and plays a pivotal role in ASEAN Community building.
3. MISSION
The ACCSM’s missions are:
(a) The ACCSM shall contribute to the establishment of the ASEAN Community 2015
by strengthening civil service cooperation in ASEAN;
(b) The ACCSM will promote ASEAN collaboration in the promotion of effective and
efficient civil service, public accountability, and good governance;
(c) The ACCSM seeks to leverage the strengths of ASEAN Member Countries through:
• the enhancement of existing mechanisms for networking, mutual learning
and sharing of experiences among members;
• the promotion and facilitation of exchange of best practices and other public
management innovations by enhancing the role of ASEAN Resource Centres
(ARCs) as providers of expertise in their respective areas of competencies;
• the establishment of supporting initiatives to help ASEAN Civil Service
develop and adopt cutting-edge practices; and
• the implementation of various programmes on civil service matters
with the support and assistance of ASEAN Dialogue Partners and regional/
international agencies.
4. OBJECTIVES
The ACCSM’s objectives are:
(a) To implement ASEAN Leaders directives in the field of civil service;
(b) To promote the role of civil service in contributing to the development of the three
pillars of the ASEAN Community, namely political and security, economic and
socio-cultural spheres;
3
(c) To develop strategies and programmes/projects for mutual support and
assistance among ASEAN Member Countries in creating a conducive climate
and the development of strategy for effective and efficient civil service and good
governance (in line with VAP Measure 1.1.3.); and to establish supporting initiatives
towards narrowing the development gap among ASEAN Member Countries;
(d) To deliberate and recommend common positions or understandings where
appropriate, especially in preparation for international meetings relevant to civil
service matters;
(e) To develop a strategic framework and provide impetus for greater collaboration
through the sharing and exchanges of information, experiences and insights;
(f) To strengthen the existing mechanism for networking and building closer
relationships;
(g) To strengthen the capacity of and facilitate mutual learning among ASEAN Member
Countries;
(h) To promote and facilitate adoption of best practices and public management
innovations within the Civil Service;
(i) To promote joint collaboration with ASEAN Dialogue Partners and regional/
international agencies in implementing programmes on civil service matters; and
(j) To evaluate the implementation of ACCSM projects/activities and further identify
priority areas for ACCSM cooperation as necessary.

ASEAN Plus Three Conference on Civil Service Matters (ACCSM+3) Work Plan (2012-2015)
1. BACKGROUND
The ASEAN Conference for Civil Service Matters (ACCSM) is an ASEAN forum
promoting regional cooperation to strengthen civil services in ASEAN Member States
(Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines,
Singapore, Thailand and Viet Nam). With the 15th ACCSM commenced in 2009, Lao
PDR assumed the ACCSM Chairmanship until the end of 2010.
The ACCSM is committed to supporting the establishment of the ASEAN Community
by 2015 by continuing to develop effective, capable, accountable and responsive civil
services in ASEAN as reflected on its Mission Statement adopted at the 10th ACCSM
Meeting in Thailand in 1999. The ACCSM acknowledged the need to continue efforts
to enhance the quality of civil service that meets the challenges of regional integration
and community building.
The ACCSM has initiated steps to expand regional cooperation with three key Asian
countries, namely China, Japan and Korea, under the ACCSM Plus Three initiative. The
engagement with the Plus Three Countries is seen as a systematic effort to expand
the scope of on-going bilateral assistance of members of the ACCSM with the Plus
Three countries to the regional level, which is very much in the spirit of the ACCSM.
The ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community (ASCC) Blueprint incorporates six
characteristics for cooperation in the region, namely: Human Development,
Social Welfare and Protection, Social Justice and Rights, Ensuring Environmental
Sustainability, Building the ASEAN Identity, and Narrowing the Development Gap. It
also points to the need for “building civil service capability” and highlights the role
of the ASEAN Conference on Civil Service Matters (ACCSM) “in the promotion of
effective and efficient civil service, public accountability and good governance.”
16
The civil service, as a main implementer of policy and strategy, has a pivotal role
in addressing the global challenges and the areas covered by the Blueprint. The
cooperation between the civil services within the ACCSM forum is an important
instrument to address issues of common concern, set up common projects, learn
from one another and become ever better at serving the region, its Governments
and the public. The Work Plan 2008–2015 comprises a number of good initiatives
for the ACCSM Plus Three Member States to help one another in building capacity.
ASEAN has already cooperated with Japan, China and Korea (hereby, called Plus
Three countries) for some time in some of the areas covered by the Blueprint. The
14th ACCSM in Bali, Indonesia, welcomed such cooperation and decided that this
issue would be addressed at the 15th ACCSM main conference, resulting in a detailed
cooperation plan.
The inaugural meeting of ASEAN Plus Three on Civil Service Matters, was held on
30 October 2009 in Vientiane, Lao PDR. At this meeting, representatives from the
said Plus Three countries presented their papers which covered the possible areas
of the cooperation. The meeting agreed, in principle, on the proposed framework
for cooperation on civil service matters. Therefore this work plan and the preliminary
cooperation projects have been formulated to help realize the cooperation between
and among ASEAN Member States and the 3 dialogue partners.
The Luang Prabang Joint Declaration on ASEAN Plus Three Civil Service Cooperation
which was adopted by the ASEAN Heads of Civil Service and Plus Three Countries
on 29 October 2010, made official the cooperation between ACCSM and the Plus
Three Countries in the area of civil service cooperation. The Work Plan is developed
based on the Luang Prabang Joint Declaration, which identifies the priority areas for
cooperation.
2. OBJECTIVES
The ACCSM Plus Three collaboration will take place with particular reference to the
element of “building civil service capability” in the ASCC Blueprint, with the following
objectives:
• To exchange experiences on key areas within public administration and reform,
in particular, capacity development and enhancement of human resource
capabilities;
• To learn from a country that has significant expertise and know-how in civil
service matters and capacity development;

• To strengthen capacity development and knowledge in the respective civil
services in all the concrete areas covered by the Blueprint;
• To support effective implementation of the Work Plan (2008-2015); and
• To assist in reducing the gap in terms of capacity among ASEAN Member States.
3. APPROACH AND STRATEGY
The 15th ACCSM took a systematic approach in developing cooperation with the
Plus Three Countries. This consisted of four stages, in close alignment with the basic
ASEAN principles ASCC Blueprint and the Work Plan, which are as follows:
a. internal discussion within ACCSM and clarification of framework for cooperation;
b. dialogue with the Plus Three countries to formulate collaboration arrangements
and work plan;
c. phase of pilot projects (2012 – 2013) to achieve quick results and strengthen
collaboration; and
d. main programme of cooperation projects (2013 – 2015), which would build on
lessons learnt.
The 15th ACCSM in October 2009 discussed the broad framework for collaboration
with Plus Three Countries. There was broad consensus among the ACCSM members
about the need to establish the partnership with Plus Three countries, and the
importance of building this partnership around a clear and well formulated agenda
for action. This was followed by a Joint Declaration by the ACCSM and Plus Three
Countries on the collaboration. The declaration would be followed by a period of pilot
projects, which would provide a foundation for larger scale cooperation on a longer
term basis.
4. PRIORITY AREAS FOR PILOT PROJECTS
The proposed themes of cooperation in the ASEAN Plus Three on Civil Service Matters
are:
• E-Governance
• Human resource management and human resource development (HRM/HRD)
• Productivity in public sector
18
4.1 E-Governance
Proposed areas of cooperation and outputs are:
a. The Plus Three countries experience with E-Governance offers a strong
platform for establishing a major ACCSM. The cooperation offers some
good lessons in this regard. Dialogue could be initiated to explore a
cooperation plan across the ACCSM, which could cover:
l Identification of governance mechanisms in the ASEAN to be further
strengthened with ICT;
l Capacity development interventions to help prepare and improve
e-governance strategies;
l Technical support, wherever required, for transition to E-governance;
and
l Pilot projects in mainstreaming E-governance in ASEAN Member States
where E- governance is new.
b. A major part of civil services is in the use of electronic documents and
systematic archiving using secure electronic documents. There is significant
expertise and experience available in the Plus Three Countries in this area.
Several ASEAN Member States would benefit from this experience, when
they strengthen their civil service management systems. The areas of
cooperation could be:
l Identification of key areas in civil service activities that could use
electronic documents;
l Development of methods for transition to electronic documents and
archives;
l Institutional mechanisms and security systems to manage electronic
documents; and
l Capacity building support for civil servants to use/manage electronic
documents.
19
4.2 Human Resource Management (HRM) and Human Resource Development (HRD)
Proposed areas of cooperation and outputs are:
a. The rich experience of the Plus Three Countries in Human Resource
Management (HRM) and Human Resource Development (HRD) for its large
civil service offers a strong platform for establishing a major ACCSM Plus
Three initiative. It could cover:
l Identification of HRM and HRD mechanisms in ASEAN to be further
strengthened;
l Capacity development for the governments to strengthen HRM and
HRD mechanisms;
l Technical support, wherever required, for introducing HRM and HRD
mechanisms; and
l Pilot projects to prepare for mainstreaming new HRM and HRD
mechanisms.
b. The long term development of a civil service depends heavily on the
preparations and capacity building support provided through training to
civil servants at the entry level. This thematic area could be explored for
cooperation, covering:
l Competency assessment and competency building in generic civil
service tasks;
l Models for design and delivery of induction training for entry level civil
servants;
l Frameworks to deliver decentralized induction training, including
distance learning; and
l Capacity building for delivering e-learning and distance learning.
20
4.3 Productivity improvement in civil service
Proposed areas of cooperation and outputs:
a. The experience of the Plus Three countries in improving productivity offers
a strong platform for establishing a major ACCSM Plus Three initiative. The
cooperation extended by the Plus Three countries in this area, including
those through the Asian Productivity Organization, could be systematically
expanded to cover:
l Identification of civil service management areas for productivity to be
further strengthened;
l Capacity development interventions to and improve productivity in the
civil service;
l Technical support, wherever required, for introducing new productivity
improvement tools; and
l Pilot projects on mainstreaming mechanisms to improve productivity.
b. The effectiveness of a civil service depends heavily on the performance
management systems that are in place. The high level of professionalism
that the Plus Three countries have been able to bring into the civil
service offers valuable lessons. This thematic area could be explored for
cooperation, covering:
l Performance management mechanisms to be used for different levels
of the civil service;
l Preparations for civil servants to comply with the performance
management approach;
l Institutional framework for performance management at the national
and sub national levels; and
l Linking capacity building support to performance management.
