About this opportunity

A. PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The Public Affairs Section of the Mission to ASEAN of the Department of State announces an open competition for a cooperative agreement to develop and implement the 2024 -ASEAN Women’s Leadership Academy for YSEALI (YSEALI WLA) titled “The Next Meal: Ensuring Food Security for a Combined One Billion People,” to be located in one of the ASEAN member states, pending the availability of funding. Carefully follow all instructions below. Priority Region: Timor-Leste. YSEALI Background: YSEALI (yseali.state.gov) is the 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 solve 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 nurture a community of leaders who work across borders to solve shared issues. YSEALI is open to young leaders ages 18 to 35 who are both citizens and residents of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member countries (Brunei, Vietnam) or Timor-Leste. Responding to priorities from youth in the ASEAN region, YSEALI programs focus on four themes (Civic Engagement, Economic Empowerment and Social Entrepreneurship, Education and Environmental Issues). One component of YSEALI is annual regional workshops held across Southeast Asia on strategic topics. Program Objectives: The Mission to ASEAN has hosted nine leadership academies for women and will host another academy in 2024. The 2024 YSEALI WLA will advance the YSEALI theme of Economic Empowerment and Social Entrepreneurship and Environmental Issues and the Mission to ASEAN’s strategic goals: Sub-objective 3.2.1. ASEAN recognizes the contribution of women in the economic recovery of the region and strives to promote DEIA principles across its economic community pillar. Sub-objective 3.2.2. The United States creates a program to promote the role of women across ASEAN in contributing to peace and security across the region. The 2024 Women’s Leadership Academy will include an in person four-day workshop exclusively with females who have professional or research experience related to food security ( biotech, agribusiness, trade/economics, water management, relevant public health topics such as malnutrition). Participants, age 20 to 35, must represent all 10 of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member states and Timor-Leste. The Academy must also include additional virtual meetings and gatherings (before the workshop). Recent global grain shortages have shown how vulnerable sectors suffer when a food crisis arises. Professionals from many different industries are working to prevent food insecurity and manage the impact of short-term and long-term food shortages. The 2024 WLA will be designed to gather female leaders who are approaching this challenge from a variety of angles and will broadly consider applicants’ experience and contributions. A few examples of the many possible relevant fields include biotech, agribusiness, trade/economics, resource management ( water, soil), and public health specialties associated with nutrition and food safety. Populations that have access to adequate, nutritious food will contribute positively to the development of the economies of ASEAN member states and ensure long-term security in the region. The Biden-Harris administration has increasingly focused on how countries and international bodies address and combat food insecurity. As such, ASEAN also sees the agriculture sector as one of the most important agenda items for ASEAN cooperation. related industries contribute five percent of the United States gross domestic product, representing more than one trillion dollars per year and more than 19 million jobs.
