The BUILD project will be implementing a global PHED Leadership Program to develop and nurture the next generation of PHED leaders, focusing on women and young people. The program will recruit participants from four regions and conduct training for various cohorts in the project’s hub countries in Kenya (East Africa region), Malawi (Southern Africa region), Cote d’Ivoire (West Africa region), and the Philippines (Asia Pacific region). The program targets young people, particularly women, from government, local, national, regional, and international agencies; civil society organizations (CSOs); and the private sector; or individuals with the potential to implement and/or support PHED-related initiatives.
The inaugural and pilot training will be held for the East Africa region and will take place in Kenya in November 2023. The program will admit approximately 20 participants including advocates, community leaders, social influencers, program and project officers, planners, policy influencers, and policymakers from Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.
The BUILD project invites applications for the November 2023 cohort of the inaugural program. The program starts with a 12-day in-person training event in Kenya and continues for 12 months with virtual, periodic follow-up sessions aimed at equipping participants with the cross-sectoral skills and background needed to advocate, plan and implement integrated programming responsive to interlinked development goals.
