Abstract: Abstract Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate the development and evaluation of leadership training and development programs. Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries. Findings: Leadership training programs in Uganda should be tailored to local needs, emphasizing experiential learning and ongoing support. Evaluations should consider both short-term outcomes and long-term impacts on organizational performance. Collaboration between stakeholders can improve program effectiveness. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Transformational leadership theory, adult learning theory & kirkpatrick's model of training evaluation may be used to anchor future studies on the development and evaluation of leadership training and development programs. Design training programs that emphasize experiential learning through simulations, case studies, and real-world projects. Advocate for organizational policies that prioritize investment in leadership development programs.
