Women in Leadership Foundation

Published purpose

This 48-month project will address organizational capacity needs to allow the organization to continue promoting social and systemic change towards gender equality. Organizational capacity will be enhanced through the following activities: develop and implement a capacity-building strategic plan, develop, and implement a strategic partnership plan, and the implementation of a human resource strategy for training and retention of board and advisory members, staff, and volunteers. The organization has capitalized on increased opportunities/demand by expanding its outreach and supplementing its other project activities to benefit from this increased engagement through additional funding in the year 2020. The supplemental funding and project extension will be used to develop and implement a succession plan. The plan will include core knowledge sharing with the identification of key roles, and the candidates who can pivot into the Foundation’s leadership roles. The funds will also facilitate the improvement of organizational capacity to conduct analyses of policies, programs and services, and to identify and remove barriers to provide these services within a optimally and scalable platform.
