Tri Mumpuni, a LEAD Fellow from Indonesia, was presented with the award for Community Power at the Ashden Awards on Wednesday 30 May 2012.
Puni, as she is known, received the award for her work in developing community-owned micro-hydro programmes in Indonesia. Her off-grid hydro schemes are bringing the benefits of electricity – like good quality light, TV and power tools – for the first time to remote communities in Indonesia, creating new livelihood opportunities and a window on the wider world.
What does it take to be a sustainability leader?
In an article published in RioPlus Business - a magazine commissioned by the Rio Conventions to highlight the role of business in contributing to sustainable development - LEAD argues that vision, innovative thinking and entrepreneurship are among the key behaviours demonstrated by successful leaders.
LEAD is conducting a study on the scope, limitations and trends in leadership development for sustainability and would like to invite all sustainability leaders to share their views on this important topic.
LEAD Southern and Eastern Africa (LEAD SEA) will host this year's Pan-African Session of the LEAD Africa Fellowship training programme. The Session, entitled Population and Climate Change – Towards a Climate Compatible Development for Africa, will run from 10-15 September 2012.
