The Academy for Integrity in Leadership (AIC) was created in Moldova with the goal of getting Evangelical Christians involved in the public square (in politics at local and national level). The goal is achieved through two main activities: creating a network of like-minded Christians and equipping them with the tools and skills necessary to achieve the goal and be successful in public life.

The series of webinars targeted young professionals, current leaders in their fields, for additional professionalization and for complementing what is missing from public education: Christian leadership, value-based policymaking and relational economics. A special focus was given to the concepts of integrity and justice as pre-requisites for leadership, especially in a context like Moldova, where the citizens mistrust the government and perceive the legal justice system to be corrupt.

A new component of this year’s program was the grant awarded to some of the participants to support their research on a topic related to and addressed in the fellowship program.
