Delegation: Western Hemisphere regional program, with 19 international visitors and four liaisons (23 people total).

This International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) examines the U.S. system of foreign investment screening and its role in protecting national security and promoting economic prosperity.

Program focus and learning objectives

Through engagements with federal agencies, think tanks, private finance companies, and donors, public and private sector participants will review U.S. investment screening models, recent regulatory updates, and the roles of stakeholders at federal, state, and local levels.

The project explores U.S. perspectives on global financing initiatives and strategies for economically sustainable development. It aims to align international investment screening standards with American priorities, reinforce the United States’ role as a global standard-setter, and support robust, security-focused screening mechanisms abroad.
