In September 2006, the SCE re-affirmed its commitment to the Manila Framework as a living document that provides the basis for the implementation of the ECOTECH activities outlined in the Osaka Action Agenda. Recognising emerging priorities, the SCE endorsed an updated list of ECOTECH priorities as follows:
Developing human capital
Developing stable and efficient markets through structural reform.
Strengthening economic infrastructure
Facilitating technology flows and harnessing technologies for the future
Safeguarding the quality of life through environmentally sound growth
Developing and strengthening the dynamism of small and medium enterprises (SMEs)
Integration into the Global Economy;
Human Security and Counter-terrorism Capacity Building
Promoting the Development of Knowledge-Based Economies; and
The SCE was first established as the SOM Sub-Committee for Economic and Technical Cooperation (ESC) in 1998. In 2002, this was elevated to the SOM Committee on Economic and Technical Cooperation. In 2005, as part of the ongoing APEC reform process, the ESC was further strengthened and transformed into the SOM Steering Committee on ECOTECH (SCE).
