Beckwith International Leadership Development

The Beckwith International Leadership Development programme (BILD) was established in 2009 to provide resources and build relationships that enable countries to develop sustainable National Centres for Leadership Development (NCLD), which use sport to touch the lives of young people. The programme is embedded in Tanzania and has now moved onto Ghana.

BILD builds and shares knowledge developed in the UK and around the world, using the technical expertise, support and services of UK Sport and Youth Sport Trust, so that a sports leadership programme and resources can be owned, developed and adapted in each BILD country.

Initial funding is provided to support the establishment of each programme and subsequently scaled down as in-country solutions and opportunities are explored to provide funding and greater sustainability.
