Introduction
Human rights struggles defined the 20th century. The delivery of equal rights for women and men in the public space will define the 21st century. In all spheres of society, leadership appears to have a certain image: the male image. Perhaps that explains why in his book Leadership is Male (1988), David Pawson posits that “Patriarchal society is a reflection of divine fatherhood”. However, Joan Martin (1996) in her book Is Leadership Male? interrogates Pawson’s assertion. With the growing convergence of leadership and gender in global development discourses, it has become imperative that we bridge knowledge and expand our understanding of this important area of development.
Program Goal
The Goal of the Gender & Transformative Leadership Course is to build a critical mass of informed professionals in the field of gender and transformative leadership in Africa.
Objectives
- To reinforce the convergence of leadership and gender as key development concepts.
- To explore cultural, political, and economic barriers to gender equity and women’s advancement in politics and public life.
- To equip participants with knowledge and understanding of leadership and gender dynamics necessary to function as advocates of gender equity in the public space
- To strengthen the leadership competence of participants
Program Structure
UNESCO develops the GTL curriculum in consultation with the National Universities Commission (NUC). It is designed to run in modules. It is designed to help participants understand gender dynamics in the public space and strengthen their leadership competencies to effectively promote gender-balanced leadership everywhere they find themselves in public leadership.
