What the grant funds

A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok announces an open competition for a cooperative agreement under the aegis of the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI) to develop and implement the YSEALI Enviro-Tech Regional Workshop – a six-day workshop in Bangkok (inclusive of arrival and departure days) on climate change adaptation, resilience efforts, and innovative use of emerging technology such as AI, clean energy, and biotech to address common environmental challenges pending the availability of funds. Please note that this award is subject to availability of funding. Please carefully follow all instructions below. Priority Region: Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Laos, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, and Timor-Leste. Program Objectives: YSEALI (yseali.state.gov) is the U.S. government’s signature initiative to engage emerging leaders in Southeast Asia. The program aims to create a network of young Southeast Asian leaders who work across national borders to address common problems. Through a variety of programs and engagements, YSEALI seeks to build the leadership capabilities of youth in the region, strengthen ties between the United States and Southeast Asia, and develop a community of leaders addressing regional concerns. YSEALI is open to young leaders ages 18-35 who are both citizens and residents of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member countries (Brunei, Burma, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam) or Timor-Leste. YSEALI programs focus on four themes (Economic Growth, Sustainable Development, Education, and Civic Engagement) because youth in the region identified them as priorities. YSEALI also organizes annual Regional Workshops across Southeast Asia on strategic topics. Focusing on youth and social action, the YSEALI Enviro-Tech Regional Workshop will aim to advance the YSEALI theme of Sustainable Development and U.S. Embassy Bangkok’s strategic goals by examining how technology and regional collaboration can help protect the environment and mitigate climate change. This workshop will bring together 60 YSEALI members from ASEAN countries and Timor Leste who have an interest in environmental development, environmental science, green technology, a commitment to a healthy environment, social equity, economic vitality, and the ability to lead.
