Transformative Journeys to Create a Safer World
Impact 2 – GCSP Contributing to the Development of a Future Generation of Leaders in Egypt In 2019 the GCSP embarked on a new partnership with the National Training Academy of Egypt (NTA) to develop its Executive Presidential Leadership Programme (EPLP). We designed a four-month residential and online course on Adapting to Changing Contexts for the 2019-2020 cohort of the EPLP that brings the GCSP’s inclusive and independent approach to international security and l’Esprit de Genève to a new generation of leaders working across all sectors of the Egyptian state. This course includes two connected modules: Issues and Approaches to International Security Today and Key Topics: Cyber Security and Security and Law. Opportunities for applied learning and interactive work group with mentors were an essential part of the design of this course. The over 75 EPLP participants represent a cross-section of the Egyptian state from various national ministries and governorates. The NTA used a rigorous merit-based selection process to identify these participants by assessing their future leadership potential. They are a highly engaged group with a keen desire to increase their knowledge and competencies. This GCSP input in Egypt (which is a GCSP Foundation Council member) is an example of our commitment to partner with countries across the Middle East and North Africa in their efforts to grapple with the complex challenges unfolding in the region and to enhance their ability to take advantage of any opportunities that present themselves.
