Founded in 2004, the Burundi Leadership Training Program (BLTP) is registered as a local NGO in Burundi. The BLTP specializes in training to strengthen the leadership skills of a wide range of actors, from political party leaders to women, from Army officers to youth. Currently, youth are integrated in one of BLTP’s programs aimed at building responsible citizenship; a program developed under the School for Democracy Project and which trains elected and non-elected community leaders from 8 provinces. In all of its training activities, the BLTP ensures that beneficiaries can create and strengthen the cooperative relationships and mutual trust needed to engage in an inclusive dialogue on issues concerning their parties, national matters, and communal conflict. In doing so, participants experience democratic values ​​such as inclusiveness, respect for differences, freedom of expression and accountability in a multiparty context, all while gaining leadership skills and tools such as negotiation, conflict management and dialogue. BLTP Programs are made possible by (1) the cohesion of its Technical team and a resource allocation strategy that respects the skills of the team and emphasizes inclusiveness, and (2) the judicious management of financial resources provided by various donors (e.g. European Union, UNDP, Cordaid, the NIMD, the Dutch Embassy, UN Women, US State Department).
