Asean civil service officials tackle regional commitments in Lapu meet
A TWO-DAY gathering of 40 senior officials from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) civil service bodies was held last Oct. 6 in Lapu-Lapu City.
The Senior Officials Meeting (SOM) was part of the 18th ASEAN Conference on Civil Service Matters (ACCSM) hosted by the Civil Service Commission.
Delegates discussed the status of current regional commitments, post-2015 priorities, updates on public service management, as well as preparations for the meeting of ASEAN Heads of Civil Service in 2016.
This is the second in a series of meetings of the ACCSM scheduled this year until 2016.
A preparatory meeting was held last April in Tagaytay City.
The 18th ACCSM theme, “Building ASEAN Civil Service Community: Assessing Progress and Charting Next Steps” highlights a time of reflection and visioning on the state of regional cooperation for effective and efficient civil service systems and good governance.
Upcoming events for the 18th ACCSM include the ACCSM+3 Joint Technical Working Group meeting, the meeting of Asean heads of Civil Service, the meeting of Asean heads of Civil Service Plus Three, and a forum on good governance, all scheduled in 2016 in Manila.
