INGENIEUR
The Connectivity Blueprint will spur more economic
activities as detailed in the APEC 2014 Joint Ministerial
statement on areas such as APEC Port Service Network
(APSN), transportation Connectivity Map, Cross-Border
Education Co-operation and Tourism Co-operation
possible and appropriate APEC
should look to co - ordinate
and collaborate with these
organisations to ensure we
avoid duplication of efforts.
Monitoring, Evaluation and
Review
In order to reach the overarching
goal of strengthening physical,
institutional, and people-to people connectivity by taking
agreed actions and meeting
agreed targets by 2025, with
the objective of achieving a
seamless and comprehensively
connected and integrated Asia
Pacific, we instruct Ministers
and Senior Officials to oversee
the implementation of the
6
42
Blueprint on a yearly basis,
particularly in reviewing the
targets and objectives.
We direct Ministers and
Senior Officials to develop
a dedicated arrangement to
monitor, review and evaluate
implementation of the Blueprint,
and to conduct a mid-term
review of the Blueprint in 2020.
We further direct Ministers and
Senior Officials to work with
APEC fora to develop additional
ambitious and measurable
actions and targets under each
of the connectivity pillars. These
actions and targets need to be
forward-looking and directed
towards the vision of APEC
Connectivity in 2025.
