The United States Agency for International Development, responsible for administering civilian foreign aid, is sending 47 Indonesian professionals to the US under its scholarship scheme. US Chargé d'Affairs Brian McFeeters hosted a reception for the professionals, who received scholarships from the Program to Extend Scholarships and Training to Achieve Sustainable Impacts (Prestasi) and the Governing Oil Palm Landscapes for Sustainability (GOLS) program. GOLS is a joint initiative between USAID and the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR). Prestasi and GOLS are two among many US government programs designed to enhance bilateral cooperation. The goal is to improve the knowledge and skills of Indonesian professionals in addressing development challenges and promoting sustainable development.
