In 2023, the U.S. Mission to ASEAN (USASEAN) secured permanent allocations for the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP), which is recognized as the U.S. Department of State’s leading professional exchange initiative. The program has covered a range of projects, including cybersecurity, public health, global economic cooperation, and economic prosperity.
In 2024, USASEAN took the lead in establishing two new IVLPs: Economic Development and the Environment for ASEAN Municipal Leaders; and Capacity Building within the ASEAN Secretariat.
