Secure and Sustainable Infrastructure Program

Funded by the U.S. Department of State's Bureaus of South and Central Asian Affairs and East Asia Pacific Affairs

The Secure and Sustainable Infrastructure Program (SSIP) consists of four (4) two-week projects in which professionals will travel to the U.S. to meet their professional counterparts in the thematic areas of “Ports” or “Clean Energy". The program, part of the Quad Infrastructure Fellowship, aims to build and strengthen a professional network of renewable energy and port specialists throughout South and Central Asia and East Asia and the Pacific region by sharing best practices in infrastructure design and management.

SSIP projects will consist of two topics, Clean Energy and Ports. There will be two projects focused on either topic:

Clean Energy (May 4th - 18th & July 13th - 27th)

Prepare leaders in participating countries to make educated choices on their infrastructure development decisions;
Facilitate the transfer of clean energy technologies throughout participating countries; and
Increase participants’ awareness of infrastructure projects’ vulnerability to cyberattack and build their capacity to ensure that infrastructure projects are well guarded against such threats.

Ports (June 8th - 22nd & August 17th - 31st)

Prepare leaders in participating countries to make educated choices on their infrastructure development decisions;
Facilitate the transfer of innovative port management practices throughout participating countries; and
Increase participants’ awareness of infrastructure projects’ vulnerability to cyberattack and build their capacity to ensure that infrastructure projects are well guarded against such threats.
