Gender-responsive Leadership Framework
In 2020, FBA, in close collaboration with Leslie Groves Williams (PhD), Senior Gender and Leadership expert, began a multiyear initiative on gender-responsive leadership. The aim is to support leaders and managers in international and regional peace and security organizations to take effective action for gender equality.
As part of this initiative, gender equality and leadership experts jointly developed a framework for gender-responsive leadership. The framework has then been piloted through Gender-Responsive Leadership Learning Programmes at headquarters and field-level with the UN, OSCE and EU. Based on the finalized framework, FBA has also produced a gender-responsive leadership handbook, facilitator guide, participant workbook and an informative and inspiring video series.
