The Project on Leadership and Building State Capacity seeks to promote more sustainable approaches in international conflict prevention and post-conflict reconstruction, first, by conducting in-country training programs designed to strengthen the trust, communication, and negotiation skills among key leaders in countries emerging from violent conflict; and, second, by stimulating discussion and analysis of ways to achieve more effective and holistic strategies for peace building and strengthening state capacity.
