Cooperation in poverty alleviation is pursued under the ASEAN Senior Officials Meeting on Rural Development and Poverty Eradication Plus Three (SOMRDPE+3), which serves as a platform for policy exchange and sharing of good practices and programme innovations to reduce poverty. The 16th SOMRDPE+3 held on 21 November 2023, noted the progress of cooperation between ASEAN and the Plus Three countries, particularly on the delivery of social protection in the rural areas and in alleviating poverty.
One of the APT key projects on poverty alleviation is the exchange programmes to empower village leaders, which have been organised since 2013 as an effort to facilitate direct exchange of knowledge, expertise and learnings at the community/village level. The 10th ASEAN+3 Village Leaders Exchange Program was held on 25 August 2022 via videoconference.
