About Us – Leadership for Education for Sustainable Development (LEAD-ESD)

Leadership for Education for Sustainable Development (LEAD-ESD) aims to strengthen Education for Sustainable Development and the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals in teacher/TVET education institutions. LEAD-ESD is a capacity-building program for policymakers, heads of institutions, teachers, and educators from Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE), primary, secondary, and Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET).
