FLAG LEADERSHIP CENTRES

Nipe Tano through the FLAG Leadership Centres runs the following programs:

1.       Nanga ya Vijana is a leadership program set up in 2001 to develop leadership within Colleges and Universities. Red Channel was initiated due to the growing need for well-equipped graduates, ready to transition into the competitive market.

2.      Blackrock Sports is a sport program that I set up in 2004 that trains and develops the athletic talent among children and young people. The program is structured to offer training and talent development around various sport disciplines. The program runs in association with the Rock College program, which manages the Blackrock School of Sports program within schools and colleges.

3.      FLAG.  In 2007 within the governance and political process, I set up FLAG to raise and mobilize citizens into political parties, town halls, county assemblies, parliaments, senates, county and national state houses’ and cabinets’ across Africa. The objective of this program is to engage the power of the Constitution and the state, to ensure that law and order is administered in the interest of transformed leadership.

4.      Gabriel. The Transformed Entrepreneur program is an entrepreneurship program that I set up through the Rock program in 2009 that seeks to restore and transform markets within East Africa by supporting Home & Micro Entrepreneurs (HME’s). This program currently has 30 entrepreneurs and runs once a month.

5.      Rock – The Rock program is an education program that seeks to support children’s academic and talent development. Based on the Rock Timetable set up in 2011, the program partners with different schools within the region to provide quality teaching and learning based on a continuous learning approach from primary, to secondary through to tertiary education.

6.      The Art of Life – Art of Life is the latest of the programs that I set up in 2012 under the Rock College. As an arts program that trains and develops the performance and creative art talent among children and young people, the program is structured to offer training and talent development around various art disciplines.

7.      Centigrade is a social marketing program built around the Groundwork outreach program. This program has been designed to disseminate leadership, entrepreneurship, philanthropy and social campaigns skills. The program is set to be launched later this year.

Through these outreach programs, the FLAG Leadership Centre has identified, began to train and nurture 384 leaders in Kenya, Rwanda and Southern Sudan in these areas of personal development, family, education, media, enterprise, politics, sports, arts, science and technology. The Leadership Centre hopes to impact approximately 12,200 ambassadors in the East African region by 2017 through the Global Enterprise Model O.P.I (Organizational Performance Index), as a benchmark metric.

We envision Nipe Tano with a global online community of 150,000 people and a FLAG Leadership Centre campus in the port city of Mombasa by September 2013. We intend for this Centre to have identified 1080 new leaders within the community through an outreach program called Groundwork. By September 2017, we hope that the Centre would have identified an additional 10,700 leaders through Groundwork and have established FOrT as its resource investment centre
