New Zealand Acting High Commissioner Amanda Vercoe has presented a cheque for FJ$15,000 to Leadership Fiji that has boosted the 2017 Leadership Fiji Programme.
Vercoe says that New Zealand High Commission values and supports the effort of Leadership Fiji in the development and enhancement of the quality of future Fiji Leaders.
She adds that the High Commission has been associated with the Programme since its inception in 2002 and over the years it has enriched and nurtured the skills of many young leaders.
Leadership Fiji Executive Director Sharyne Fong says the Leadership Fiji Programme provides an opportunity for the development of a new generation of leaders equipped to take Fiji forward as a united dynamic nation.
Fong says that it also exposes participants to leaders from across the society, in a structured manner, providing them with the opportunity to deepen their understanding of their country, its history, economic and social structure.
Leadership Fiji has also been heavily involved in the development of regional leadership programs.
Around 350 leaders from various back grounds and careers have graduated from the programme and are part of the vibrant and enthusiastic alumni.
