Fellows will closely liaise with the node coordinators to help implement CAN’s global strategy on a national/regional level by sharing information, supporting members, developing national/regional strategy, conducting national/regional activities, strengthening the governance of the node, and any other task that would help improving leadership skills for the fellow, as well as strengthening the national and regional work of the node.Specifically, the program aims to:> Help to build the technical and leadership skills within the national and regional nodes to strategically influence the national, regional and international climate policies, and contribute to the CAN's global strategy in addressing climate change.> Invest in the future leadership of the CAN network, through broader active participation in CAN’s policymaking processes, information gathering and sharing, and advocacy efforts.> Strengthen coordination within the regional nodes and with CAN International.http://www.climatenetwork.org/campaign/leadership-development-program Show less
