Transformational Leadership: Phase II

(2000-2003)

Objective: To transform and engender governance and leadership in the Caribbean through research, public education and training so as to ensure the participation of women of all ages as agents of change towards a more equitable and gender-sensitive society.

 

Main Elements:

 

• Preparation and independent review of three position papers: Cultural, Socio-Political Context of Leadership in the Caribbean; Historical Concepts and Paradigms of Leadership & Their Relevance to Strengthening Women’s Transformational Leadership in the Caribbean; and Leadership Projects and Programmes for Women in the Caribbean.

 

• Empirical research study conducted through questionnaires and focus group discussions in six countries, based on the identification of the following specific practices: peace promotion (Belize), economic empowerment (Jamaica), gender-sensitive policy analysis (St. Kitts), TL (Barbados), active participation of women in local government (St. Lucia), and organizational and political participation (The Bahamas).

 

• The first learning community workshop on TL implemented, bringing together the researchers, the authors of the papers, research participants, leaders/potential leaders and young women leaders from five Caribbean countries.
