Highlights and Outcomes:

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Government of the Republic of Korea, the ASEAN-Korea Cooperation Fund, SingHealth, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of Cambodia for their invaluable support.
To all ASEAN Member States, our dedicated partners, and the teams at ARMAC and CMAA, thank you for your tireless efforts, insightful contributions, and shared commitment to improving lives through victim assistance.
This workshop underscored the power of regional collaboration and innovative strategies to drive meaningful change for survivors. As we approach the holiday season, we reflect on the milestones achieved and look forward to building on this momentum in 2025.
Together, we will continue our shared mission of creating an inclusive, data-driven, and impactful future for victim assistance across ASEAN.
