    Program overview

    The Public Diplomacy Sections (PDS) of the U.S. Mission to ASEAN and U.S. Embassy Phnom Penh announce an open competition for applications to develop, organize, and oversee the Young Southeast Asian Leader Initiative (YSEALI) ScamShield Regional Workshop in Cambodia. Following the success of the YSEALI CyberSafe workshop in January 2026, this next workshop on countering online scams will reveal how criminal scam groups use illicit financial flows as they victimize Americans and Southeast Asians, and it will teach young leaders to detect, disrupt, and dismantle criminal financial networks. The workshop will gather approximately 60 YSEALI exchange alumni and up to 11 YSEALI CyberSafe alumni mentors from all 11 ASEAN countries for four days of expert panel discussions, site visits, and workshops where they will design action plans for detecting, disrupting, and dismantling the financial flows of scam groups in Southeast Asia. Participants will deploy the skills and network they develop at the workshop, working together across borders to counter criminal scam groups, disrupt illicit financial flows, and help protect the people of Southeast Asia and America. Please follow all instructions below. More details are on the U.S. Mission to ASEAN website.
