LAUNCHED in 2013, the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (Yseali) is the US government’s signature programme to strengthen leadership development and networking in Southeast Asia. Through various programmes and engagements, including US educational and cultural exchanges, regional exchanges, and seed funding, Yseali aims to build the leadership capabilities of youth in the region, strengthen ties between the United States and Southeast Asia, and nurture an Asean community. Yseali focuses on critical topics identified by youth in the region: civic engagement, environment and natural resources management, and entrepreneurship and economic development. Malaysians have actively participated in Yseali, undergoing a highly competitive selection process overseen by the US embassy in Kuala Lumpur.
