E-commerce is one of the key drivers of growth and innovation in the world today, and a key component for ASEAN to realize its vision of a regionally integrated economy. Some of the key challenges in promoting e-commerce in the region include concerns on cybersecurity, lack of trust in online transactions, and lack of strong methods of authentication to tackle the fraud and underpin electronic transactions. There is also an increasing demand from the region to identify enabling policies and best practices that will accelerate the development of e-commerce. This project is designed to address these challenges and demand. The objective is to promote best practices and evidence-based policies on e-commerce by delivering capacity-building activities at two levels: Best Practices in e-Commerce; and Strengthening Capacities on Digital Authentication Methods. It is expected that the project will result in enhanced capacity of policy makers and entrepreneurs in understanding issues pertaining to e-commerce and their readiness in designing e-commerce strategies and laws and regulations to facilitate the development of e-commerce.
