The Network was created at the request of the first BBLP Associates. The BBLP Network is the working group of the Benazir Bhutto Leadership Program. It includes Associates and Fellows, the BBLP Steering Committee, the Mentor/Advisors, the ClassACT Board, and the Advisory Board. The connecting tissue of the Network is collaborative work to promote the BBLP mission. Strong relationship development is a cornerstone of the Network.




The Associates

Scholars studying in Harvard graduate programs who come from these regions and whose goals are aligned with the principles of this program have been and will be invited to participate in the Benazir Bhutto Leadership Program as Associates. Associates provide advice to shape the BBLP and help build a larger network of leaders, while at Harvard and later, in the field. They, like the Fellows, are part of the BBLP Network and will have access to the Mentor/Advisor program of BBLP. The Associates and Fellows provide collegiality, intellectual capital, and support to one another.

Public Education

The BBLP public education component, developed with input from Fellows and Associates, promotes understanding in the American public as well as cross-cultural exchange emphasizing the core principles outlined above. This element may include presentations in conjunction with HKS and the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs, outreach to Harvard alumni, programs for children and teens, webinars, and social media campaigns.
