The United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific will be offering a targeted capacity building workshop for ASEAN investment promotion agencies (IPAs) as a part of its work programme with the ASEAN Coordinating Committee on Investment (CCI) on investment promotion and attraction.
The first ASEAN IPA workshop of 2024, “ESCAP-ASEAN Investment Promotion and Attraction Workshop” will be held in Bangkok at United Nations Conference Center (UNCC) on 20-21 March 2024 in Meeting room A.
The workshop will provide the foundations for the ASEAN FDI Action Plan and will include both a training component as well as a consultative component. The training component will focus on building capacity to promote FDI as a region using best practices examples from other regions. The consultative component will include 1-on-1 consultations with each IPA present to discuss their investment promotion and attraction capacity and priorities. These 1-on-1 consultations are critical to begin drafting the ASEAN FDI Action Plan, and the consultations will also be open for virtual participation from staff located in the capitals of each IPA.
