Specific objectives and outcomes: 

Specific Objective 1: Landscape analysis and risk assessment

• To carry out an in-depth diagnostic assessment of the sustainability landscape surrounding the uptake of project deliverables including to identify enablers and barriers to long-term adoption and outline key sustainability risks and mitigation measures. Currently, each SEA-MaP deliverable has considered sustainability and long-term uptake in isolation and to various extents. The landscape analysis will consolidate existing strategies into a unified approach that builds from synergies and avoids duplicative actions.

Expected contributions to the Strategy include:

• A consolidated landscape analysis of key legal frameworks and policy initiatives at the ASEAN and AMS-level mapped to the objectives of each SEA-MaP deliverable, based on existing landscape analyses developed under each workstream.
• A gaps and needs analysis including institutional capacities of ASEAN and AMS
• A risk assessment and mitigation plan based upon identified internal and external influencing factors.
• A synthesis of key findings and significant implications.

Specific Objective 2: Strategy consolidation and implementation planning

• To integrate all analytical findings and stakeholder feedback into a comprehensive, actionable Sustainability Strategy, supported by a phased Roadmap aligned with the agreed timeframe.

Expected components of the final Strategy include:

• A mapping of all SEA-MaP project deliverables, consolidating key findings and recommendations into a coherent and streamlined framework.
• A consolidated and validated Sustainability Strategy on the post-project management of SEA-MaP products and deliverables reflecting ASEAN and AMS priorities and institutional and financial capacities.
• A consolidated communication and engagement plan providing consolidated, harmonized and streamlined messaging across all SEA-MaP deliverables and key beneficiaries.
• An itemized budget and a financial sustainability plan for the implementation of key recommendations at the ASEAN and AMS level.
• A Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) framework with indicators and reporting mechanisms.
• A phased five-year Roadmap outlining implementation pathways for various AMS contexts, proposed responsible entities, and milestones, highlighting specific next steps for the first year post-project closure and required roles, responsibilities and contributions for key project partners.
• A dissemination-ready synthesis report and presentation documents for stakeholders.
