About GCTF
On June 1, 2015, The United States and Taiwan jointly established the Global Cooperation and Training Framework (GCTF) to provide a platform through which Taiwan could contribute to global problem solving and share its expertise with partners across the world. Taiwan has world-class experts in a wide variety of fields, including waste management, public health, law enforcement, disaster relief, energy cooperation, women’s empowerment, digital economy and cyber security, media literacy, and good governance.

However, because Taiwan’s frequent exclusion from international bodies has largely deprived the world of its humanitarian assistance, technical know-how, and rich experience as a democratic success story, Taiwan’s experts are not able to share their knowledge. GCTF workshops have allowed Taiwan to partner with the American Institute in Taiwan, and as of 2019, the Japan-Taiwan Exchange Association, to share its expertise with countries across the Indo-Pacific and around the globe.

The GCTF allows practitioners from around the world to learn what Taiwan has to offer and to strengthen connections between experts in different countries as they tackle 21st century problems that do not respect borders. As we entered the fifth anniversary of the GCTF, we are proud to celebrate the many ways that this platform has addressed critical global challenges and built the capacity of government officials, private sector actors, and civil society. Together, we have provided extensive training to hundreds of participants representing dozens of countries from every region. Training has covered a diverse collection of topics, such as public health, energy security, disaster relief, law enforcement, media literacy, and women’s empowerment.
