Young Pacific Leaders Regional Workshop: Marine Sustainability 2022

The U. S. Embassy New Zealand Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U. S. Department of State is pleased to announce an open competition for organizations interested in submitting proposals to develop and implement a Young Pacific Leaders (YPL) Regional Workshop on Marine Sustainability, pending the availability

of funding.

As a Pacific nation, the United States has long been committed to working with partners in the region to ensure continued regional security, as well as economic growth and development.

This program for young leaders will create ties across the Pacific to ensure that we are better prepared to address challenges together in the future.

Young Pacific Leaders is the U. S. government’s signature initiative to engage with emerging leaders in the Pacific region.

The program aims to create a network of young Pacific leaders who work across national borders and the four pillars of YPL-environment/resource management, education, civic engagement, and economic and social development—to solve common problems.

The regional workshop will convene emerging leaders, ages 25-35, with ongoing U. S. marine sustainability initiatives in Hawai’i/American Samoa (specific location to be determined in partnership with the U. S. Embassy New Zealand taking into account COVID-19 travel restrictions) to build competencies in developing and sustaining their initiatives to solve regional challenges associated with marine sustainability.
