It's about time!
This program is a call to action for the new generation of leaders with a vocation for effective transformation and the spirit of advocacy to change the structural needs of the Colombian Pacific. We want to empower a generation of sustainable development managers with an emphasis in four areas:
(1) environmental sustainability; (2) cultural management; (3) economic (re) activation and; (4) public health.
Through graduate-level scholarships, we seek to nurture a network of individual leaderships that affect the ecosystem of national, regional and local institutions, as well as the community and business fabric on which the advances of the Colombian Pacific development agenda depend in the coming years.
This thanks to the support of different organizations with which Manos Visibles has a meaningful partnership: The United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the Ford Foundation, the SURA Foundation and La Universidad de los Andes.
School of Leadership for Development of the Pacific
106 shortlisted candidates+ 27 places of the country represented 32% are populated centers and outlying rural areas + 100 governmental entities
As part of the accumulated experience with the completion of higher education programs in the Pacific in Colombia, we have identified the need to strengthen some basic competencies of graduate program applicants so that they may increase their chances of being admitted to the university and garner a satisfactory academic performance during the completion of their graduate program.
For this reason, Manos Visibles has designed the School of Leadership for the Development of the Pacific, which will be carried out through virtual sessions for participants to strengthen their knowledge and skills in specific areas such as critical thinking and reasoning, statistics and mathematics, and perspectives on development, among others.
We present below the 110 professionals and their profiles who will take the aforementioned course being put forth by the Manos Visibles Organization.
