Entering its tenth year, the Asia Pacific Leadership Program (APLP) is the center of excellence for leadership education in the Asia Pacific region and a signature program of the East-West Center. The APLP is a graduate certificate program combining the development of regional expertise with the enhancement of individual leadership capacity.

All participants receive a fee-waiver valued at approximately $15,000.

APLP participants will gain broad regional perspectives, become knowledgeable about the critical challenges facing the Asia Pacific region, and be trained to exercise leadership and promote cooperation. The APLP empowers leaders with the knowledge, skills, experiences, and supportive community needed to successfully navigate personal and regional change in the 21st century.
