About the Program: Mekong-Australia Partnership Support Unit (MAP)
The objective of the Mekong-Australia Partnership Phase 2 Support Unit (MAP SU), funded by the Australian Government's Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), is to provide efficient and effective support and enabling services, and delivery of selected MAP activities as directed by the Mekong Hub at the Australian Embassy in Bangkok, Thailand to ensure that Australia is a trusted and reliable partner in supporting a resilient, inclusive and sustainable Mekong subregion. MAP SU delivers the Leadership and Skills program and enabling services for the Transnational Crime (MAP-TNC) program. It also supports programming by providing administrative, logistical, and/or technical support and assistance in the execution of parts of MAP such as organising events, conducting training, or managing specific components.
Leadership and Skills
The Leadership and Skills multi-year program is a strategic, cross-cutting investment designed to deepen Australia's economic and security ties with the Mekong subregion (including Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam) by facilitating access to Australian education and professional learning, and promotion of knowledge sharing and subregional cooperation. The Leadership and Skills program contributes to MAP portfolio outcomes by supporting diverse Mekong subregion leaders to apply their skills and capabilities to contribute to development across MAP thematic areas and pursue joint inclusive solutions to shared and transboundary challenges. With strategic guidance from the Mekong Hub and the Leadership and Skills Thematic Working Group, the program will deliver scholarships, short courses, masterclasses, regional dialogues, on-award and alumni engagement activities, including alumni grants.
MAP- Transnational Crime (TNC)
MAP-TNC aims to build deeper and stronger cooperation between Australia and Mekong countries to address transnational crime (TNC), specifically illicit drug trafficking, child sexual exploitation (CSE), and financial crimes. The desired end of program outcome is that Mekong subregion partners better prevent and counter targeted TNCs. This includes working with Australian Government Agencies (AGAs) to guide activity design, planning and reporting; liaising with regional DFAT partners including Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime (GITOC) and other DFAT funded programs in the region; understanding and tracking TNC trends and Mekong government responses; and identifying and where appropriate, encouraging opportunities to facilitate regional responses to TNC threats. MAP SU provides enabling services to the MAP-TNC portfolio.

Based in Bangkok with occasional regional travel for events, the role will support overall MAP SU functions and portfolios —including Leadership & Skills and MAP TNC — by developing and delivering high quality, communications that amplify MAP outcomes, strengthen stakeholder engagement, and ensure compliance with DFAT approvals, safeguarding and GEDSI expectations.
