The National Transformational Leadership Institute (NTLI) a semi-autonomous institution at the University of Juba that was launched in February 2016. Conceived in 2013, the initiative was spearheaded by the Ministry of Gender, Child and Social Welfare, University of Juba and UN Women, primarily focused on increasing women’s representation in decision-making structures.
The institute is currently equipping South Sudanese emerging and existing women and men leaders with skills on transformational leadership, economic empowerment conflict management and peace building. It targets people from all sectors including political institutions, corporate, civil society organisations, faith based groups, NGOs, Un Agencies and the academia.
The acquired knowledge and skills enable the beneficiaries to influence policy decisions for nation building. NTLI is a non-academic certifying institute with plans to upgrade to post-graduate programme in future. It is a cost-recovery service generating income from contracted tailor-made training, research and consultancies for its progressive autonomy.
