Arlington, VA – Today, the U.S. Trade and Development Agency extended its deadline for initial proposals to expand the Agency’s grant-based support for feasibility studies, technical assistance, pilot projects and expert training to advance the U.S.-Southeast Asia Aviation Cooperation Program (SEA ACP). USTDA will now accept initial proposals through January 26, 2021 at 5:00 PM, Eastern Standard Time. Initial proposal requirements can be found here.

The SEA ACP is a public-private partnership that works with aviation stakeholders in Southeast Asia to design programs that promote technical, policy and commercial cooperation in civil aviation. SEA ACP is industry-led and government-supported, with cooperation from USTDA, U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration, Transportation Security Administration and U.S. Department of Commerce.

Potential activities that USTDA will support will match the needs of Southeast Asian countries with the technical innovation of U.S. companies. Countries of the Pacific Islands are also eligible.
