International Leadership Trainings
The Leadership Project works closely with governments and international organizations to plan and implement country-specific leadership training interventions. The success of the Burundi Leadership Training Program (BLTP), launched in war-torn Burundi in late 2002 by the Woodrow Wilson Center’s Africa Program, has led to the introduction of innovative capacity-building initiatives in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Liberia, and to broad international interest in the extension of this work to divided societies in other regions.
These interventions are composed of training in interest-based negotiations, communication, mediation, conflict analysis, strategic planning, and the management of organizational change. Simulations and interactive exercises build a climate of trust, establish effective communication, and enable national and local leaders drawn from all social sectors to collaborate effectively across lines of ethnic or political division to prevent violent conflict, to reconstruct their societies, and to build cohesive, effective state institutions.
