35 ARMM young leaders to take part in month-long leadership program

COTABATO CITY-- The Office of the ARMM Governor, the Eisenhower Fellows Association of the Philippines, and the Ayala Foundation Inc. launched the 2016 Bangsamoro Young Leaders Program - Leadership Communities (BYLP-LeadCom) on Sunday, September 11, 2016 at the ARMM Compound in Cotabato City.

BYLP-LeadCom is a year-long leadership platform that aims to empower young leaders to respond to the rapidly changing solutions-based leadership in the context of thematic areas of health, education, livelihood, and peace.

 35 youth leaders from different provinces of ARMM will undergo a series of learning experiences in different key cities in the country starting this week.

These youth, after a month-long learning circuit, will then proceed to the project implementation where they will be directly engaged in transforming their own communities across Bangsamoro as an opportunity to strengthen their newly acquired skills.

The BYLP-LeadCom started out as Bangsamoro Young Leaders Program in 2015 with 28 fellows from the province of Basilan. (BUREAU OF PUBLIC INFORMATION/MINDANAO EXPOSE’)
