U.S. Embassy Philippines: YSEALI Regional Workshop on Marine Sustainability Innovation Acceleration

The Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy in the Philippines announces an open competition for a cooperative agreement to develop and implement a Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI) Regional Workshop on Marine Sustainability Innovation Acceleration, pending the availability of funding. The six-day workshop (inclusive of travel days) will convene emerging leaders, ages 18-35, from all ten ASEAN member states and Timor-Leste with ongoing marine sustainability initiatives in the Philippines (in Cebu or Subic) to build competencies in developing and sustaining their initiatives to solve regional challenges.

YSEALI is the U.S. government’s signature initiative to engage with emerging leaders in Southeast Asia. The program aims to create a network of young Southeast Asian leaders who work across national borders and the four pillars of YSEALI – sustainable development, economic growth, civic engagement, and education – to solve common problems.
