Mekong-U.S. Partnership (MUSP) Pathfinder Health Program
The Pathfinder Health Program helps Mekong sub-regional health authorities identify and respond to emerging infectious diseases. Pathfinder fellows will be eligible to submit proposals and receive funds for pilot research programs to help communities prevent disease emergence and spread. The Pathfinder program complements long-standing U.S. support for public health to Southeast Asia, including ongoing U.S. assistance to combat COVID-19 and is a prime example of non-traditional security programming.
Our Mission
The Mekong-U.S. Partnership seeks to encourage equitable, sustainable, and inclusive growth in the Lower Mekong Region.
MUSP seeks to meet regional development challenges by implementing capacity building projects and programs with active involvement and close cooperation of the governments in the Mekong region. Our goal is to deliver equitable, sustainable, and inclusive economic growth among the five MUSP partner countries by promoting connectivity and collaboratively addressing regional trans-boundary development and policy challenges.

The United States is deeply concerned by the recent violence in Honiara, Solomon Islands. We call on all parties to refrain from violence and engage in constructive, inclusive dialogue to seek a peaceful resolution to their differences. https://go.usa.gov/xePrF
Australia’s intention to declare Hizballah as a terrorist organization is an important step in limiting the group’s ability to finance, plan, and execute terrorist attacks. We applaud Australia for taking this step and encourage others to follow suit. https://go.usa.gov/xeUhG
