Africa Leadership Training and Capacity Building Program Quarterly Report for January – March 2013

Africa Lead, the Africa Leadership Training and Capacity Building Program, provides leadership training, capacity assessments, logistical support for training and innovative short courses and internships/twinning arrangements prioritized in consultation with missions and partner countries and institutions, and a database of training offerings on the continent that can be matched to the leadership training and capacity building needs.

This report is the tenth quarterly performance report of the program, 30 months from program start up, and focuses on progress towards deliverables identified in the Africa Lead Year 3 Work Plan. The implementation during this quarter was characterized by a continuing shift of focus from Task 1 (Leadership training and Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Program sensitization) to a focus on Task 2 (Third party training and internships) and Task 3 (Capacity needs assessments).
