Day 2 of The Regional Workshop on Promoting Collaboration and Cooperation of the Regional Victim Assistance Network through Data Management was a day of robust engagement, constructive dialogue, and strategic planning. Hosted by ARMAC in collaboration with CMAA, this workshop brings together participants from ASEAN Member States to strengthen support for explosive ordnance survivors.
The sessions today focused on three critical areas:
• Finalizing the Victim Assistance Network (VAN): Participants reviewed and reached consensus on the structure, objectives, and implementation strategy for the VAN, ensuring it will serve as a sustainable platform for regional collaboration.
• Finalizing the Regional Victim Assistance Guideline: Participants engaged in group discussions to refine the guidelines, ensuring they reflect regional priorities and global best practices.
• Thematic Subgroup Discussions: Five groups tackled essential themes, including data accuracy, standardization, sharing, and strategies to address management gaps.
Key takeaways included innovative solutions like developing a regional data template, using secure digital platforms, and enhancing trust through ARMAC-facilitated data-sharing agreements.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to drive impactful change in victim assistance across ASEAN.
