Projects cover one of the four YSEALI themes: Civic Engagement, Economic Growth, Education, and Sustainable Development.

In 2021, YSEALI Seeds for the Future will build on the diverse achievements of this year’s grantees, who have successfully implemented 25 projects across all ten ASEAN member states and Timor-Leste.
