Youth Leadership Training Programme

A major aspect of FES' support of Youth Leadership is contained in the Youth Leadership Training Programme (YLTP). The aim of this project is to contribute to building a cadre of committed leaders in Tanzania.

For a period of 12 months, young women and men from different national organisations are receiving regular training in leadership skills and good governance. During the training sessions the participants address social, political and economic topics and practise new managerial skills. In addition YLTP offers these young leaders the possibility of establishing a quality network enabling them to contribute their share to a democratic multiparty system.

The programme is very successful and many participants of the last years are today found in key-positions in politics, economy and civic society. They are the decision-makers of the future as intend by the programme.

In the 2005 parliamentary election four former participants ran for a parliamentary seat.
