In a wave of transformative initiatives, human certification and empowerment programs are being scaled up globally to foster inclusive growth and leadership. In Nigeria, the School of Politics, Policy, and Governance (SPPG) recently graduated 262 young leaders from its Class of 2025, equipping them with ethical and evidence-based leadership skills. These graduates are now poised to redefine Africa’s development trajectory through people-centered governance.

Meanwhile, Oman’s Vision 2040 Implementation Unit is rolling out a unified electronic training platform to provide specialized certifications for public sector employees. This initiative includes leadership training and job rotation guides aimed at boosting institutional performance and ensuring continuity of knowledge.

On the individual front, stories like that of Mousam Kumari—who overcame personal and financial challenges to earn a degree from IIT Guwahati and land a job at a global bank—continue to inspire. Her journey underscores the power of education and certification in transforming lives.

These developments reflect a growing recognition that human empowerment, backed by structured certification, is key to unlocking sustainable progress across industries and communities.
