14. Post-Training Support
Asosiasi Alumni Program
Beasiswa Amerika – Indonesia
The association acts as the “home” for USAID alumni to use their new knowledge and skills to design activities to develop targeted areas in their communities.
The combined alumni in many academic fields makes ALPHA-I a valuable resource as a “think tank” to address the issues that are critical for Indonesia’s development.
