Women's Learning Partnership leadership manual

And another one...
New Field Foundation would like to share this leadership manual from Women's Learning Partnership with you. The manual can be downloaded for free from their website here:

Leading to Choices, developed by the Women's Learning Partnership for Rights, Development, and Peace (WLP) in collaboration with its partner organizations in the Global South, is based on a conceptualization of leadership as horizontal, inclusive, and participatory. WLP views leadership as a process that leads to greater choices for all by fostering communication among individuals who learn from each other, create a shared vision, and reach a common goal forged by consensus. The alternative leadership model presented in the handbook responds to the need for leaders who aspire to create egalitarian, democratic, and pluralistic societies based on collaborative decision-making, coalition-building, and gender equality.

A digital library of resources regarding gender is available for free download in pdf or Word format.
