Opportunity Information: Apply for PD LAO 2018 001
The 2019 YSEALI Regional Workshop: Eco and Sustainable Tourism (Funding Opportunity Number PD LAO 2018 001) is a U.S. Department of State funding opportunity administered through the U.S. Mission to Laos (U.S. Embassy Vientiane) under the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs. It is a discretionary grant competition focused on environmental themes, specifically the design and delivery of a five-day regional workshop in Laos centered on sustainable eco-tourism for participants in the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI). The program is intended to bring together emerging leaders from Southeast Asia and build practical knowledge and leadership capacity around eco-tourism approaches that are environmentally responsible and sustainable over the long term.
Funding is expected to be provided through either a Grant or a Cooperative Agreement, which generally signals that the Department of State may remain substantially involved in shaping or overseeing the project if a cooperative agreement is used. The opportunity listed an award ceiling of up to $250,000 and anticipated making one award total, meaning applicants would be proposing a single, comprehensive program rather than a smaller component of a broader effort. The award is described as contingent on the availability of FY2018 funds, so the final issuance of an award would depend on appropriations and internal funding decisions.
The eligible applicant category is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement. In practice, opportunities like this commonly attract applications from a range of organizations such as nonprofits, NGOs, educational institutions, civil society organizations, and other entities capable of convening international participants and delivering a structured multi-day training program. Because the activity is a regional YSEALI workshop hosted in Laos, applicants would typically need to demonstrate strong program management capacity, relevant subject-matter expertise in eco- and sustainable tourism, and the logistical ability to run a five-day convening that may include training sessions, speaker programming, site visits, stakeholder engagement, and participant collaboration.
Key timeline details include a posting/creation date of July 31, 2018, and an original application deadline of August 30, 2018. The opportunity is categorized under the CFDA number 19.040, which corresponds to public diplomacy and related Department of State assistance programming. Overall, this grant competition supports U.S. public diplomacy objectives by investing in leadership development and regional cooperation among young Southeast Asian leaders while promoting environmental stewardship and sustainable economic activity through eco-tourism.Apply for PD LAO 2018 001
