The United Nations University Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability (UNU-IAS) will launch a global human resource development program, ``Global Leadership and Sustainable African Development.'' We are currently recruiting graduate students from our university to take this course.

 

This program is run by UNU-IAS in collaboration with New York University and the University of Johannesburg, and this course is aimed at graduate students interested in Africa and international development. Students will have the opportunity to learn from African leaders (both public and private) about transformational leadership and development, participatory democracy, citizen engagement, and public policy.

The cost of participating in the program will be borne by SDGs Initiative Office. If you would like to take the course, please send us the application form below. Our headquarters will make a selection based on the contents of the application form. We will contact you about the selection results at a later date. Our headquarters will also contact UNU-IAS regarding the participants.
