(*) The Attachment Programme dispatches young government officials from CLMV countries (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Viet Nam) to the ASEAN Secretariat for one year, with a view to enhancing administrative capacities of the participants, as well as narrowing the gap between CLMV countries and other six ASEAN countries. The programme has fostered a number of promising officials in CLMV countries for the past years. The Government of Japan supports the programme through Japan-ASEAN Integration Fund (JAIF).
