The ASEAN Open Institute Network is a flagship networking initiative of the Southeast Asian Institute of Public Management Inc. It is an Open Education Network that seeks to establish partnerships and collaboration among technical education and skills training institutions in Southeast Asian through open resource exchange, capacity-building support and policy research collaboration. Initially funded by the U.S. State Department through the YSEALI Seeds for the Future Program, the ASEAN Open Institute Network has evolved from being an open technical education and skills training window into a regional consortia of educational and training institutions.
