Training leaders for peace

Article Abstract:

The most distinctive element of Burundi's transition is the extent to which national leaders have embraced the importance of leadership training as a key to reconciliation and good governance. Burundi may be the first case of a country just emerging from conflict in which key leaders have integrated into their peace process, a national training program explicitly designed to rebuild their capacity to work effectively together in advancing country's postwar reconstruction.

Hopes have been raised with the election of a new president in Jun 1998 in the person of Andres Pastrana. However, Pastrana faces a complex web of socio-economic problems, including an international economic crisis that threatens to engulf Latin America.
