About ELP
Why We Exist
Young people are entering a world of unprecedented opportunity and complexity. Yet academic knowledge alone is not enough to prepare them for the challenges of life, leadership and responsible citizenship.
The Emerging Leaders Programme (ELP) bridges this gap through whole-person formation, developing the head (knowledge), hands (skills), heart (values) and feet (purposeful action and service). Beginning at Makerere University and now expanding across Uganda, ELP works with educational institutions and partners to nurture young people of character, competence and compassion, equipped to lead themselves, serve others and transform their communities and nation.
