During the Webinar, an overview of the guideline document with brief introduction of each chapter was provided by the developers. The participants also shared their review opinions on the document and discussed follow-up activities. With further review by the regional experts of ASEANTOM countries, the document is expected to be finalized and published by the end of September 2021.
