[newdevjobsindo] GIZ Indonesia for the ASEAN Cluster anchored to the Southeast Asian Cooperation on Maritime Security (SEACOM) Project
The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is an international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations. Its corporate objective is to improve people’s living conditions on a sustainable basis. GIZ has been working in Indonesia since 1975 and formally with ASEAN since 2009 on behalf of the German Federal Government.
The regional project “Southeast Asian Cooperation on Maritime Security” is funded by the Foreign Office of the Federal Republic of Germany and implemented by GIZ from 01 May 2026 to 31 March 2028. It cooperates with national partners to strengthen maritime law enforcement and maritime security capabilities of selected ASEAN member states that also participate in the IFC Indian Ocean Region and the ReCAAP Information Sharing Centre (ISC). The project consists of four components: procurement, capacity development, strategy and policy advisory, and regional cooperation.
The Indo-Pacific is of central importance to the global economy and security. Strategically vital maritime routes such as the South China Sea and the Strait of Malacca are critical for international trade flows, access to key resources, and stable supply chains. At the same time, geopolitical tensions, hybrid threats, piracy, illegal fishing, and risks to critical maritime infrastructure are increasing. Core pillars of the rules-based international order, in particular the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), are increasingly being challenged in the region. Despite existing regional cooperation mechanisms, gaps remain in the exchange of security-relevant information and in the joint monitoring of maritime activities among regional states.
Against this backdrop, the project supports the selected ASEAN member states (namely the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand) in strengthening regional cooperation on information sharing and the monitoring of key maritime routes, thereby contributing to a rules-based maritime order in the Indo-Pacific. The project builds on experience from previous German capacity-building initiatives with the Philippine Coast Guard and scales successful approaches to the regional level. The pilot countries are supported through targeted capacity-building measures, provision of technical equipment, and training to enhance their capabilities in maritime domain awareness. At the same time, the Philippines shares its experience with other ASEAN member states to improve regional information exchange. A joint simulation exercise in the context of the planned Code of Conduct in the South China Sea further strengthens trust and cooperation among participating states.
The overall objective (impact) is to strengthen the rules-based maritime order as well as safe and open maritime routes in Southeast Asia through enhanced regional cooperation and transparent monitoring mechanisms.
The project objective (outcome) is that selected ASEAN member states have deepened their regional cooperation in information sharing and the monitoring of key maritime routes in support of a rules-based maritime order in the Indo-Pacific.
To support the objective (outcome) of improved regional cooperation among selected ASEAN member states in monitoring key maritime routes in Southeast Asia, the project aims to achieve the following results (outputs):
- Selected ASEAN member states have the necessary technical equipment to cooperate in the monitoring of key maritime routes in Southeast Asia.
- Information sharing and communication among selected ASEAN member states for the monitoring of key maritime routes in Southeast Asia are strengthened.
- Selected ASEAN member states contribute to the support of the ASEAN Code of Conduct for the South China Sea through joint training activities.
