BIMP-EAGA Youth Forum on Sustainable Development
The Brunei Darussalam-Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippines East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) sub-regional cooperation program was established in 1994 to address the socio economic development of less developed, marginalized and far-flung areas; and narrow the development gaps across and within the sub-region. The vision of BIMP-EAGA is the realization of socially acceptable and sustainable economic development, which leads to the full participation of EAGA in the ASEAN development process. Its immediate goal is to increase trade, investments and tourism in the sub-region by facilitating the free movement of people, goods and services; development of vital infrastructure in the sub-region; and coordination of the management of ecosystems and common resources to ensure sustainable development. The short to medium term goal is to ensure that EAGA becomes a major location in ASEAN for high value-added agro-industry and natural resource-based manufacturing and high-grade tourism, and in the longer term to ensure that non-resource based manufacturing is established in the sub-region.
ASEAN Community 2015 will bring us in the region without limitation, entering the era of all people belong together or people to people contact.
