Where We Work
Leadership is a critical, yet often overlooked, component to be factored into planning when creating policies and programs that promote sustainable development. At Leadership Global, we focus on developing the next generation of emerging leaders by helping them build the necessary leadership skills and enhancing their ability to make effective decisions that can and will make a difference in their communities and in the world.
Leadership Global believes that preparing the next generation of African leaders through leadership development training can empower a generation of young people to be catalysts for sustainable growth and development in their countries.
Our mandate is to support the emergence of a new generation of leaders across the continent through comprehensive leadership training and character-building programs. Since 1992 we have worked in a number of African countries including: Senegal, Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Liberia, Kenya and Ethiopia
Leadership Global in the Caribbean envisions a Caribbean where sustainable economic growth and development are realized, and where youth are gainfully employed and are part of the next generation of leaders. Leadership Caribbean aims to work with Caribbean partners, at the regional and national levels, to establish programs that will contribute to the Caribbean’s growth and development.
