Description | The proposed regional small scale policy and advisory technical assistance (R-S-PATA) seeks to support the implementation of the new Long-Term Strategic Framework of the GMS, 2012-2022, endorsed by Leaders at the recently held 4th GMS Summit, which is emphasizing second-generation connectivity projects along and around developing economic corridors; and the draft Implementation Blueprints, 2012-2016 of the BIMP-EAGA and IMT-GT subregional groupings, respectively, being prepared for endorsement by Leaders at the respective BIMP-EAGA and IMT-GT Summits in April 2012, which are also emphasizing connectivity through corridor development, along with eco-tourism, food security, and environmental protection. The R-S-PATA would also indirectly support ASEAN Economic Community Blueprint (AEC) objective of achieving the AEC by 2015, including through the narrowing of development gaps in the smaller economies under the Initiative for ASEAN Integration (IAI) Work Plan 2 (WP2), 2009-2015 and the implementation of priority projects, including in some middle-income Southeast Asian countries, listed in the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity (MPAC). The proposed R-S-PATA would help operationalize this support to Southeast Asia member countries by providing the necessary analytical and broad operational inputs into a Regional Cooperation Strategy (RCS) for Southeast Asia, 2012-2016, to be endorsed by Southeast Asia member countries. The R-S-PATA would complement ongoing or planned TAs in support of regional and sub-regional cooperation and integration administered by SERD, ERD, OGC, OREI, and RSDD. More specifically, the R-S-PATA would: (i) undertake a rigorous background economic assessment of the likely impact of the ongoing global macroeconomic shifts, including those related to the People's Republic of China (PRC), on ASEAN and the three sub-regional groupings in Southeast Asia over the next four years to end-2015; namely, BIMP-EAGA, GMS, and IMT-GT; and (ii) produce three background harmonized regional cross-sector and thematic assessments, strategies, and roadmaps (regional ASRs), along the lines prepared for the Southeast Asian countries' country partnership strategies (CPSs) with ADB, covering the agreed but still a priori strategic priorities; namely, improved connectivity, enhanced competitiveness, and promoting a sustainable environment. The background economic assessment would help validate the selection of the three strategic priorities, while the background regional ASRs would build on the relevant national ASRs to ensure that the RCI initiatives are value-adding to the national programs, and thereby help ensure country ownership and commitment to implement the agreed operational programs. |
