Leadership and voice: More than 'add women and stir'
Back to Search
Water for Women research partner, Institute for Sustainable Futures (ISF) has released three conversational articles, drawing on a breadth of literature.
These articles are now available on their website. They address three key issues important for gender equality in WASH: women’s empowerment, intersectionality, and voice and leadership.
The three articles aim to make accessible the debates and complexities associated with each of these concepts and ideas. Their development has been a collaborative effort, with many of ISF partners and the GESI Fund coordinator staff providing review, critique and new ideas for us to integrate. Through this process we received positive feedback on the relevance and usefulness of synthesising the latest thinking and debates on the three topics. A huge thanks to all those partners who reviewed and provided input!
This third article highlights the importance for development programs to support the transformation of the economic, political and social structures within which women, in all their diversity, live, in order to meaningfully contribute to women’s empowerment. In this article, we explore how development organisations understand, measure and support empowerment.
ISF says 'we hope these articles prove useful for our CSO WASH partners participating in the Water for Women Fund, as well as development practitioners and researchers more broadly.'
Great reading ISF!
