On 21 May 2026, the ASEAN Training Centre for Social Work and Social Welfare (ATCSW) held an online meeting with the DSWD Academy of the Philippines.

The meeting provided a valuable opportunity for both institutions to discuss future collaboration, particularly on the development of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between ATCSW and DSWD Academy. The discussion also focused on the potential collaboration in developing a Social Protection curriculum to further strengthen knowledge exchange and capacity development in the ASEAN region.

ATCSW would like to express its sincere appreciation to the DSWD Academy for the continued cooperation, support, and commitment to strengthening social work and social welfare development in ASEAN. We look forward to further enhancing our partnership and working together.
