UNITAR Sustainable Development Leadership Programme
The UNITAR Sustainable Development Leadership Programme is a premier capacity building programme designed to empower your organisation’s leaders to champion performance improvement and transformational, strategic change to drive sustainable development and organisational results, supporting the implementation of the Afghanistan-Sustainable Development Goals (A-SDGs). It is a part of UNITAR’s Division for Prosperity Executive Leadership Training Series.
The programme utilises our unique blended, adult learning methodologies and leverages our experience delivering capacity building programmes over the last 16 years in, and for, Afghanistan. The programme will be delivered through four workshops, three in Kabul, and one international workshop in the region. The workshops will be augmented by focused asynchronous online training which will be delivered throughout the programme in order to manage the cognitive load of participants, as well as to deliver training as necessary as the programme progresses. Each workshop will be linked by individual assignments which will see participants contextualise the learning.

Each workshop will be linked by individual on-the-job assignments which will see participants contextualise the learning.
