PIDP offers leadership development programs to advance East-West Center's strategic pillar #1, to Develop and Equip Leaders, and to advance goals of the 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific Continent which notes, "The history of Pacific regionalism demonstrates the importance of strong and enduring leadership and political will to address the increasingly complex geopolitical environment and to respond to emerging issues."

Two of our flagship programs are the Resilient Pacific Islands Leaders (RPIL) Fellowship and the Pacific Islands Leadership Program (PILP).

RPIL

RPIL attracts participants possessing high leadership potential and a commitment to serve their national and regional development goals. The curriculum for these rising leaders will be centered around the 2050 Strategy for the Blue Pacific Continent and thematically organized in the following areas of critical importance to humanity identified in the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development: People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace and Partnership. The program strengthens participants’ knowledge and understanding of key regional economic, social, political, health, educational and environmental issues, and cultivates culturally sustaining leadership capacities.
