ASEAN Creative Economy Sustainability Framework
The development of the ASEAN Creative Economy Sustainability Framework aims to provide a platform and serve as a roadmap for ASEAN policymakers and relevant stakeholders to co-create a way forward in developing the cultural and creative industries (CCIs), provide an interface for the exchange of ideas and views about the Creative Economy, and appraise relevant research and evidence with a view to develop a whole of-ASEAN approach in driving regional cooperation.
The ASEAN Creative Economy Sustainability Framework:
- Outlines a shared vision and strategic direction in promoting the development of the ASEAN Creative Economy, aimed to achieve social, cultural, economic, and environmental outcomes unique to ASEAN developments;
- Emphasises a whole-of-ASEAN approach in promoting the development of the cultural and creative industries under the ambit of the creative economy through advocating a culture-centric, inclusive and sustainable-driven approach;
- Identifies specific opportunities and challenges, including potential areas for inter-pillar and cross-sectoral collaboration, in promoting the development of ASEAN Creative Economy, with a view to frame and develop concrete implementation of policy and programme initiatives;
- Proposes recommendations on the way forward to promote the ASEAN Creative Economy, with a view to consider and implement a whole-of-ASEAN and multistakeholder approach.
