We're ending the week on a bittersweet note: our summer interns have wrapped up their final presentation and are heading back to their respective campuses! Each took on AI-focused projects within various departments of CRDF Global and blew us away with what they were able to accomplish in such a short amount of time.

Harry, who supported the Growth department from our Arlington office, collaborated with teams across the organization to build automation, analytics, and knowledge management solutions that improved operational efficiency and data accessibility. "I was excited to share the impact of these projects alongside an incredibly talented cohort of fellow interns," he said.

Hamza supported the Finance and Business Operations team based in Amman. "During my internship at CRDF Global, I developed data and AI solutions that streamline business processes, centralize knowledge, and improve access to information. These projects demonstrated how automation and analytics can help teams work more efficiently and make better decisions."

Raj, who supported the Threat Reduction department, commented that "it was wonderful working with such an amazing team throughout the summer. I learned so much, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to contribute in ways that helped support the team's work. The experience reinforced my passion for using technology to make a meaningful difference."

Thank you to Harry Northwestern University, Hamza Al Hussein Technical University جامعة الحسين التقنية, Raj University of Maryland, Azarel Towson University and Karnika Arizona State University for your incredible contributions to CRDF Global, and we hope our paths cross again! 💜

Our International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) team from India rounded out their tour focused on human trafficking and illegal migration with engagements in Akron, Ohio and Buffalo, New York that focused on the identification, support, and reintegration of trafficking victims.

While in Akron, the group met with representatives from RAHAB Ministries & OhioMeansJobs Summit County, organizations with complementary missions in supporting victim recovery and reintegration through outreach, mentoring, workforce development, and economic opportunities. Next the team visited the Akron Police Department to explore the facets of local law enforcement’s response to trafficking-related crimes, including public safety, criminal investigations, community policing, victim identification, and their ongoing collaboration with prosecutors, courts, victim service providers and community organizations that help connect victims to ongoing support resources and build cases against traffickers.

In Buffalo, New York, our group deepened their exploration of victim resources and support, starting with a meeting at Project Mona’s House, designed to support women victimized by human trafficking through their recovery and eventual reintegration. Next, they visited the Town of Amherst Police Department Special Victims Unit for an overview of the specialized training and best practices designed to address cases involving victims of trafficking and other abuse.

Many thanks to Global Ties Akron, the International Institute of Buffalo, the wonderful representatives of RAHAB Ministries, OhioMeansJobs Summit County, Project Mona’s House, and the Akron and Amherst Police Departments, for sharing meaningful insights from the cross-sector collaborations that are so important in the prevention and prosecution of illegal trafficking as well as the support for victims of this transnational crime.

Over the course of the last few weeks, our incredible International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) group from India comprising professionals focused on combatting human trafficking and illegal migration has continued their travel through the U.S.

While in Texas, the group visited the U.S.-Mexico border at Laredo, TX, to gain a first-hand perspective of one of the busiest land border crossings to further inform their explorations of efforts to combat trafficking and illegal migration. In a meeting with the Laredo Police Department, the group examined the unique challenges and operational successes of policing a border community, with a focus on evolving transnational crime trends.

Next the team traveled to the Texas A&M International University Center to Counter Human Trafficking, where they met with Professor Claudia San Miguel, Provost and Vice president for Academic Affairs and Professor of Criminal Justice and TAMIU CCHT Program Manager Manuel Guillen Jr., to gain their academic perspectives on human trafficking and homeland security threats caused by illegal migration.

We thank the San Antonio Council for International Visitors and all those who contributed to the many productive discussions and hosted our participants with true Texas hospitality!

On July 23-27, 2026, CRDF Global delivered the virtual activity of the Cyber Exercises and Experiential Education (CE3) program: an online Capture-the-Flag cybersecurity challenge supported through U.S. government funding.

This program supports United States Government priorities by strengthening the cybersecurity capacity of regional partners. By fostering collaboration against evolving cyber threats, it builds the collective resilience needed to protect American interests and interconnected economic networks across the hemisphere.

This regional competition brought together 67 participants from Chile, Argentina, and Paraguay. Using SANS Institute’s BootUp cyber range, participants worked through realistic, time-sensitive incident response challenges designed to strengthen their technical cybersecurity skills.

We commend all participants for their commitment, focus, and resilience throughout this rigorous exercise, and the special congratulations go to the top three participants of the competition: Cristobal Logan, Matias Briceño, and Ramon Anonis.

CRDF Global also expresses its appreciation to our partners, the Center for High Technology Training for Latin America and the Caribbean (CCAT LAT), SANS Institute, and the U.S. Department of State E Under Secretariat for helping create a meaningful environment for learning and professional growth across the region.

Earlier this week, CRDF Global welcomed law enforcement and mass media professionals from India as participants in the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) focused on combatting human trafficking and illegal migration. As they travel through Washington, DC; San Antonio, Texas; Akron, Ohio; and Buffalo, New York; the cohort will explore approaches to addressing international trafficking through policies at the national, state, and local levels. They'll engage with representatives of government agencies, law enforcement, the judiciary system, and local organizations focused on combatting trafficking and educating the public. The team will also highlight initiatives to protect and assist victims, and throughout all of these discussions explore opportunities for international collaboration.

While in Washington, DC, the team met Georgetown University professor Dr. Anne Marie Cammisa, who provided a briefing on federalism and how the structure of our government impacts policy making and enforcement. The group engaged with representatives of the Exchange Programs - U.S. Department of State, as well as the Bureau of International Labor Affairs ( ) and Office of Child Labor, Forced Labor, and Human Trafficking ( ) in discussions about current strategies in anti-trafficking. Additionally, the team spoke with members of the Safe House Project to explore the role of nonprofits in educating and equipping law enforcement, healthcare providers, and others with tools to identify and respond to human trafficking.

CRDF Global has just wrapped an incredible four days in Singapore for our Port Modernization Workshop under the Indo-Pacific Smart and Secure Ports Program (SSPP).

21 participants, five countries: Fiji, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam, came together for a week of hands-on learning and collaboration. Singapore was an outstanding host, with strong engagement from the Singapore Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore, Singapore Customs, and U.S. Embassy Singapore, alongside the U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Customs and Border Protection who brought real expertise to the room on cybersecurity and cargo risk management.

We are also grateful to the Department of State, Bureau of East Asian & Pacific Affairs (EAP) for supporting the Indo-Pacific Smart and Secure Ports Program. Thanks as well to DUAGA LLC for the subject matter expertise that helped shape this program.

A valuable component of the workshop was hearing directly from industry leaders Kaleris, OhCeans, Quincus, MicroSec, and Brighttree, whose sessions provided participants with valuable perspectives on emerging technologies, port digitalization, cybersecurity, and innovation across the maritime and logistics sectors. Their contributions helped connect workshop discussions with real-world solutions and implementation experiences.

A major highlight of the week was the site visit to PSA Tuas Port's Horizons terminal, one of the most advanced automated port facilities in the world, followed by a visit to the Singapore University of Technology and Design's iTrust Centre for Research in Cyber Security. Seeing automation, remote operations, and layered cyber defense working together at that scale was genuinely inspiring, and it sparked some of the best conversations of the week.

Delegations left with concrete action plans and more than 16 new cross-country collaboration links, and the findings from this week will directly shape our current and future Indo-Pacific programming, especially the Supply Chain Resilience Project (SCRP). Proud of what CRDF Global and our partners in Singapore and the U.S. Government pulled together, and excited for what's next for this program.

Engagements like this highlight the value of bringing together port, customs, and border stakeholders to strengthen coordination and supply chain resilience.

Phase 2 is next, later this year. Excited for what's ahead.
