Leadership for Sustainable Development (LSD) is a Lebanese Non Government Organization was founded in 2013 to respond to the needs of marginalized people in Lebanon. When we say LSD, our sub conscience will highlight the drug but here, in the same concept of the name which follow the same addiction concept for a good social work towards a better society. If sustainable development means the insurance of the future generations on progress and evolution. The relationship between leadership and sustainable development is very important, because there is no development without leadership especially in the social, human and cultural dimension. LSD adopted a new three year strategic plan that will position its team to build on its past successes and address new issues. However, many people find themselves marginalized from public life, without the human rights provisions that are accorded to every human being.
An integrated relation between leadership and sustainable development supports the different social, humanitarian and cultural aspects for individuals and the society as a whole. Thus, we at LSD work on developing leadership skills at the personal level in order to achieve a sustainable development between its three dimensions: environmental, social and economical. And taking into account the present needs without compromising the needs of the future generation. This development is based on advancement and building leadership abilities within individuals, in order to elevate their influence in their societies on the political and social level. Therefore these are our objectives: 1. Conducting leadership building trainings and workshops. 2. Social rehabilitation, encouraging youth and empowering women. 3. Facilitating conflict resolution within communities and organizations. 4. Encouraging intellectual and cultural exchange and spreading awareness in society. 5. Increase awareness between Lebanese to claim their rights. 6. Exchange expertise with relevant non-Lebanese organizations on sustainable development issues. 7. Training of trainers. 8. Assisting the health and service fields. 9. Execute research studies on leadership and sustainable development and publishing them. 10. Providing consultancy in political, social and economic topics. 11. Organize and support projects related to improving the environment and preserving nature.
Our new strategic plan focuses our resources in several areas: Changing the world! One leader at a time. Under this concept, LSD is providing the capacity building program for developing grassroots leaders, especially women and youth, who will mobilize their communities and civil society organizations to play an active role in building a culture of peace and dialogue. Promoting Human Rights and Equal Citizenship for marginalized people in Lebanon, specially the youth in cooperation with local governments. Creating spaces of dialogue and understanding for people of different religions, ethnicity and sects to break down barriers of mistrust and create bridges of peace. LSD focus our human resources for deeper impact that will create new alliances and networks as the power of civil society grows in Lebanon and the region to share our success stories and exchange best practices and experiences.
