After its establishment, the ASEAN Foundation has been tasked with supporting ASEAN’s community-building efforts by promoting greater awareness of the ASEAN identity, human resource development, people-to-people interaction, and close collaboration among the business sector, civil society, academia, and other stakeholders in ASEAN.  

We continue to complement ASEAN priorities. To date, we work to strengthen the ASEAN Community.  

We work in four thematic areas: education, arts and culture, environment, media development, and community building.

We also organise meetings, conferences, roundtables, and workshops in support of the ASEAN Community.
