2 Project background
In the face of the COVID crisis, the effectiveness and efficacy of leaders have been placed under greater public scrutiny.How leaders are responding to COVID, the priorities they are setting, with whom and how they are consulting people, and whose interests they are serving, all have an impact on the lives of their constituents. The quality of their responses and the manner by which they arrive at these collective decisions are particularly important todeliver to the promise of equitable and inclusive development, i.e., to respond to the needs and rights of groups who have been traditionally marginalised, under-represented, and disproportionately affected by crises and economic shocks.
Women leaders – in formal and informal settings – are part of these leadership formations.In this video project, SNV and ISF-UTS will feature the stories of women leaders who are responding to COVID and mapping out preventative measures for a more resilient future.
