Who will organize and manage the ELDP?
The Insular governments recognize the need to identify and develop staff to ensure that turnover of key individuals does not adversely impact government operations. However, the insular governments lack the funding and resources to establish an inter-government initiative. The U.S. Department of the Interior’s Office of Insular Affairs (DOI/ OIA) has turned to its partner, the Graduate School, to assist with developing and managing the Executive Leadership Development Program (ELDP) through the Pacific and Virgin Islands Training Initiative.
