This project seeks to build the capacity of local young leaders to ensure that future development processes will be in the hands of responsible, democratically minded and environmentally conscious leaders. Through capacity building and training with emerging local leaders and young people from tsunami-hit communities, the Bridging Leadership Project aims to increase the participation of women, build confidence and skills of young leaders, establish a network of community leaders, establish community resource centres and embed sustainable development in any redevelopment activities.

A team of experts in facilitation, group dynamics, gender issues, sustainability and trauma counselling deliver training. Many of our experts are LEAD Fellows. Gender issues are given a strong focus throughout the training. The programme focuses on motivating young people, promoting a culture of sustainable behaviours and they are encouraged to become 'champions' for sustainable development in their communities.

Participants in the Bridging Leadership Project are carefully selected from applicants throughout the three tsunami-hit districts of the project region. They all demonstrate energy, enthusiasm and potential as future leaders in Aceh.
