FY2020 U.S. Embassy Tokyo: Security in the Indo-Pacific

U.S. Mission to Japan

Description

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The U.S. Embassy Tokyo’s Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Department of State announces an open competition for organizations to submit applications to carry out workshops and/or exchanges on regional security, non-proliferation, and multilateral cooperation to ensure the ongoing stability and prosperity of the Indo-Pacific region. Priority Region: Japan Program Objectives: A free and open Indo-Pacific is crucial for global stability in the 21st century. This vision for the Indo-Pacific is not unique to the United States, but is shared by Japan and many other nations in the region. However, there are many challenges to realizing this vision, including territorial and maritime disputes, differing economic approaches, historical concerns, and various types of governance. Therefore, multilateral cooperation is needed to address these challenges and ensure economic prosperity, good governance, and peace and security become a reality for all in the Indo-Pacific. The Embassy welcomes proposals that address these issues and is particularly interested in supporting the following priority areas: maritime security, economic prosperity, civil society, disaster relief, health assistance, and rule of law. The program needs to be designed to strengthen ties between U.S. and Japanese institutions through the inclusion of U.S. experts. The program should also include participants from other countries in the Indo-Pacific region. Participants and Audiences: The Embassy will only consider grants that are geared toward Japanese audiences.
