What the grant funds

Funding Opportunity Title: U.S. Embassies Seoul and Tokyo Trilateral Youth Leadership Forum Funding Opportunity Number: PD-SEOUL-TOKYO-FY23-01 Deadline for Applications: June 2, 2023, 11:59 p.m. GMT+9 CFDA Number: 19.040 – Public Diplomacy Programs Total Amount Available: $180,000 This notice is subject to availability of funding. A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The U.S. Embassy Seoul Public Diplomacy Section (PD) and the U.S. Embassy Tokyo Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Department of State are pleased that joint funding is available for an inaugural Trilateral Global Youth Leadership Forum. In the face of growing security, trade, financial, and environmental instability in the Indo-Pacific region, the trilateral relationship between the United States, Republic of Korea, and Japan has never been more important. To build and empower this important constituency, the U.S. government will leverage its convening power to make sure youth from two of our closest allies have a forum to regularly meet and engage on global issues. The inaugural youth summit will focus on developing the global leadership skills and viewpoints of a small cohort of about 35 youth leaders who possess demonstrated superior leadership abilities. These young people will have shown an ability to effectively push for change on issues in their communities and the capacity to collaborate with similarly minded peers from the other alliance nations. We will also leverage the expertise of youth leaders from similar USG-sponsored youth initiatives like YSEALI and the Young Pacific Leaders initiative to ensure young people in East Asia understand broader regional issues, as well as how youth have successfully worked together in other areas of the Indo-Pacific. Following the inaugural summit, we plan to leverage these same youth leaders to act as an organizing committee to guide future summits. Organizing committee responsibilities will involve working alongside Embassies Seoul and Tokyo, as well as relevant offices within the Department of State, to set themes, logistics, and strategic direction for follow-on initiatives. Outputs/Outcomes This inaugural youth summit will focus on developing a small cohort of youth leaders who can lead future initiatives. The initial cohort will be responsible for strategizing the most effective route towards a goal of a regular annual forum for youth to meet, collaborate, and work for positive change on issues affecting their countries and regions.
