Leadership and Exchanges
About this Program
Tackling critical development challenges across Asia and the Pacific rests not only on solid ideas and strategies, but on people. The most innovative and game-changing ideas will always fall flat if subjected to poor leadership. The Asia Foundation identifies, equips, and develops leaders of consequence—from emerging, next generation development and policy leaders in Asia and the Pacific, to highly accomplished leaders who seek to do more.
