International Leaders Programme
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The International Leaders Programme (ILP) is an international leadership development and networking programme.[1] The programme is organised and delivered by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office of the Government of the United Kingdom.[2] The ILP is not to be confused by programmes of a similar name provided by other organisations.
The ILP was established in March 2013 by former Foreign Secretary William Hague.[3] It identifies potential global leaders of the future and brings them to the United Kingdom for high-level meetings, briefings, and diplomatic visits.[4] The goal of the programme is to promote lasting global partnerships with emerging leaders and future decision-makers.[5]
ILP participants have represented 100 countries, and the alumni has over 350 members to date.[citation needed]
