  Aims
The Leadership
Development Program was designed to enable future
leaders to understand the complex demands of
sustainable development and to equip them with the
skills, attitudes and cross-sectoral linkages they
need to conduct their professional and voluntary
efforts in a manner that promotes changes towards
such patterns of development.
The program has
two components: Associate Training and the Fellows
Program. (Participants of LEAD training are called
‘Associates’; after they graduate, they are referred
to as LEAD ‘Fellows’.) Associate Training is
described in more detail in the following
subsection. It focuses on the capacity building of
promising individuals from diverse backgrounds,
preparing them to become change agents.
The Fellows
Program provides continuing support for LEAD Fellows
to collaborate with one another and with national
and international institutions in research,
networking or other activities for the promotion of
sustainable development.
The program
aspires to gradually develop a critical mass of
Fellows who can generate an international and multi-sectoral
momentum towards change in their respective spheres
of work, i.e., in the corporate and business,
public, civil society, academic, and media sectors.
