Founded by Asif A. Kabani, the Next Generation Leaders Program (NGLP) trains youth from 195 nations to run their country's SDG dashboards, mentor globally, and turn sport into governance capacity.
Next Gen Leaders move through a scaling model that develops local expertise, global mentorship, and practical SDG operations — a mentor-export engine where students earn while they learn.
Certified senior students and teachers who become the local expert core — trained on UEFN, LMS management and digital learning systems.
Champions mentor cohorts of 20 international students each through hybrid learning — every session verified on the Digital Twin platform.
Leaders learn to run country-level SDG dashboards across all 17 goals and 169 targets, producing grant-, policy- and investment-ready white papers.
Asif A. Kabani founded the Next Generation Leaders Program as a UN Mentor Fellow and Executive Director at the UN SDG Centre Geneva. With 25+ years spanning economics, finance, HR and global programs, he designed NGLP to turn youth ambition into verified SDG impact — training leaders from 195 nations to run their country dashboards, mentor globally, and operate the Digital Twin ecosystem.
