Each program is designed to foster the long-term program participants to reinforce the relevant capacity and leadership skills suitable to their prospective positions. For the next 10 months, each program will carry out a curriculum, which is designed to meet the specific needs of respective program.

Each program started with a 3-day special orientation activity composed of many components, including icebreaker for team building, the review of the program, discussion of ideas and visions, and setting a positive mindset. The participants motivated each other to find values and goals by sharing their experiences and knowledge through the activity.

The division ran the program to strengthen the global competitiveness and communicative abilities of local government officials (Grade 5 and 6). This year, the LOGODI has 21 participants for the fifth of its kind.
