The Developmental Leadership Programme: Implications for the Humanitarian System

Abstract

The Developmental Leadership Program (DLP) is an international research initiative that explores how leadership, power and political processes drive or block successful development. Our research is focused on the crucial role of home-grown and local leadership and coalitions in forging legitimate institutions that promote developmental outcomes, such as sustainable growth, political stability and inclusive social development. From this we also explore the role that development agencies have had, and could have in the future, in supporting these processes.
