BLTP The Burundi Leadership Training Programme-BLTP project is based on its expertise in the area of political dialogue, capacity building and dealing with political parties.  BLTP will develop two training modules (one for community structures, community leaders and authorities at local level; one for authorities on commune and provincial levels) on basic rights and responsibilities regarding peace and security, based on existing legal frameworks in the Burundian law. This will include the identification of relevant Burundianlaws and policies that will form the basis of training materials.
Equally, BLTP will produce raising awareness campaign materials including   billboards, posters, flyers. The content of these awareness materials and message that will be developed will be inspiredby law and policies identified during the process of producing training modules.
Using the training materials developed, BLTP will train authorities and security at provincial and national levels on rights and responsibilities regarding security. An important aspect of this project is that BLTP will have to prepare senior level authorities (Ministries of Interior, security, justice; Provincial governors; Communal Administrators) on the content and participants of the trainings, to avoid suspicion or other negative attitudes.  For trainings intended to authorities and security actors at communal level, BLTP will train trainers belonging to three main implementing partners based in provinces, namely MIPAREC, OAP and CEJP, who will conduct them.  An important rationale for these trainings (either at communal or provincial level) is that they will prepare the ground for citizen-authority engagement on security planned in the programme and that will be implemented by partners based in provinces.
In addition to trainings for authorities at communal and local levels, trainers will also conduct trainings for community structures who will in turn conduct grassroots awareness campaign. BLTP will make sure that trainers have adequate tools to conduct trainings. To be coherent with others activities planned inthe program, all trainings conducted will be coinciding and being mutually reinforcing with an annual awareness campaigns on citizens# rights and freedoms regarding security planned in the program.
BLTP will also conduct trainings at provincial and national levels for youth affiliated to political parties on basic rights and responsibilities regarding peace and security, as enshrined in Burundian law. The argument is that, considering the important role that political parties and their youth wings play in the current crisis, it is important to specifically target this group. Trainings will put representatives of all political parties active in targeted communes and provinces together and at national level, not excluding any political parties. Training for youths at communal and local levels will be conducted by trainers of  partners based in provinces who have received trainings by BLTP.
Finally, BLTP is committed to facilitate contacts with Government authorities and political parties and mainly the ruling party. This is of great importance as many activities require collaboration with authorities and adherence to the program by them. BLTP has been working with them since years, has developed good working relationship with them. The programme NYUBAHIRIZA will take advantage of these relationship whenever there is a need to interact with a Government official or political authorities.
