leadership impact
We believe that developing local, national, and international leaders is a critical part of a long-term solution to ending extreme poverty. DONATE NOWWhat is Leadership Impact?
Through Leadership Impact programs we equip national leaders with skills, concepts, and methods to support balanced, responsible and sustainable development in their country. Empowering local and international leaders and policymakers is crucial to ending extreme poverty. This opens new opportunities for partnership and support for TCD projects and Disaster Response efforts in their countries. Furthermore, these initiatives facilitate increased collaboration to address global challenges like poverty, inequality, human rights, disease and human trafficking prevention.

The Geneva Institute for Leadership and Public Policy
WHAT IS GILPP?
The Geneva Institute for Leadership and Public Policy (GILPP) was established by GHNI to help leaders transform their nations toward prosperity and liberty.

Transformational Leadership Development
What is Transformational Leadership Development?
TLD is an intensive leadership development course designed for emerging world leaders to bring positive change. Transformation happens when leaders learn to see beyond the status quo to inspire others to achieve new levels of excellence, creativity and productivity.
Our purpose is to be a resource to equip respected and progressive leaders in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. It is the leaders, themselves, who will create solutions for the significant challenges their communities face. We are committed to training and empowering leaders, each nation’s most valuable resource, to courageously lead in new ways.

An Integrated Curriculum
Universal
We focus on the International Community’s best leadership practices, not Western culture.
Discovery
We believe these best practices are already a part of the fabric of most of these cultures. Our role is one of guided discovery—helping leaders discover what they already know and how to apply it.
Life Stories
We are not merely informational in approach, but transparent and personal. We enlist experienced leaders to teach, model, and mentor leaders.
Honor
We value the participants’ strengths, responsibilities, and commitment to excellence. We believe it will be the emerging leaders themselves who will discover solutions for the significant challenges they face.
Humility
We listen to understand each culture and their unique challenges.
Participation
We engage participants in meaningful activity to create understanding and awareness.
TESTIOMONIALS
Experiencing Change
“I am not a dictator anymore! I bring in people and ask them what they think about a problem to see if they have any ideas. And now I really listen to what they are saying.”
“I’m glad you came, these ideas are foundations of society–I’m not flattering–this is what we really need.”
“I believe your project is crucial and it is a great gift to our people. I can confidently tell you that I and my people needed to have this training long ago.”
Human Trafficking Prevention
As a part of our leadership training initiatives, GHNI and the Geneva Institute for Leadership and Public Policy are also working to address other critical issues associated with extreme poverty. There is more slavery and trafficking in our world today than any previous time and our team is particularly passionate about addressing this issue.
Extremely poor communities are the most vulnerable to exploitation and often lack the training necessary to protect themselves. Teaching villagers about slavery prevention is part of the solution. The true solution is to end extreme poverty through TCD, thus removing the vulnerability. Ending poverty ends slavery.
With your support we can help prevent slavery and trafficking from becoming a problem.

HELP TRAIN LEADERS IN VILLAGES
You can bring help and hope to millions of people in nations which desperately need it most by investing in the lives of leaders.
