| Summary: | Through a case study and qualitative research, this article examines the impacts of institutionalized leadership training in the Ugandan context. After first establishing the current assets and strengths of the case study program, a cycle of dependency is identified, and suggestions are made for reversing this cycle. In response to the current cycle of dependency among communities led by alumni, it is suggested that the case study institution should consider implementing a curriculum to train leaders in holistic development. This curriculum would equip students to lead holistically by empowering community members to build resilience throughout their community and engaging in income-generating projects. Suggestions are based on Asset-Based Community Development theory as well as input from local community development workers. |
