About This Grant
The U.S. Mission to ASEAN (USASEAN) Public Diplomacy Section (PDS) announces an open competition for applications to develop, organize, and oversee the U.S.-ASEAN Road to 50: Rising Leaders Forum. This one-day Jakarta workshop will gather approximately 50 rising leaders selected exclusively from the USASEAN alumni networks across Southeast Asia. Celebrating 50 years of partnership, this forum looks ahead to the next 50 years: building an independent, self-sustaining alumni network that collaborates to address regional challenges and advance shared goals. Participants will design joint action plans aligned with U.S. priorities, including strengthening the U.S.-ASEAN Comprehensive Strategic Partnership (CSP), ASEAN centrality, AI, digital economy, energy security, critical minerals, resilient supply chains, maritime security, and entrepreneurship. Through expert panels, strategy sessions, and a joint social media campaign, alumni will turn shared policy goals into practical, cross-border initiatives that mark the U.S.-ASEAN relationships successes over the past 50 years and prepare for even more triumphs over the next 50. Please follow all instructions below. Read the full NOFO here: https://asean.usmission.gov/nofo-u-s-asean-road-to-50-rising-leaders-forum/
