The report of Women’s transformative leadership in Africa was written by Milena Novy-Marx in partnership with The MasterCard Foundation and draws on a landscape scan on female transformative leadership in Sub-Saharan Africa, conducted by Akosua Darkwah and Afia Appiah. The purpose of this report is to provide a review of recent developments in women’s transformative leadership in Africa. It seeks to contribute to building the evidence base on what is currently available to support and sustain these young leaders. To do so, the report first reviews the landscape, including both barriers and opportunities, and examines a sample of programs that exist to support and cultivate women’s leadership on the continent. It identifies gaps in these programs and explores some potential complements to existing programs. Finally, it lays out gaps in knowledge and a possible agenda for future research, and concludes by making several recommendations for strengthening the field of women’s transformative leadership, in Africa and beyond.

The purpose of this manual is to support and strengthen the capacity of UNDP staff working on recovery and rehabilitation activities in crisis and post-conflict situations to mainstream gender equality objectives. While the traditional perception of women in crisis and post-conflict situations is that of victims of war, the active role women in fact play in such situations is being increasingly recognized.

The World Development Report 2018 (WDR 2018)—LEARNING to Realize Education’s Promise—is the first ever devoted entirely to education. And the timing is excellent: education has long been critical to human welfare, but it is even more so in a time of rapid economic and social change. The best way to equip children and youth for the future is to place their learning at the center. The 2018 WDR explores four main themes: 1) education’s promise; 2) the need to shine a light on learning; 3) how to make schools work for learners; and 4) how to make systems work for learning.

The UNHCR Resettlement Handbook offers resettlement management and policy guidance to UNHCR staff, and is a key reference tool on global resettlement policy and practice for resettlement countries, NGOs and other partners.

The UNHCR Resettlement Handbook offers resettlement management and policy guidance to UNHCR staff, and is a key reference tool on global resettlement policy and practice for resettlement countries, NGOs and other partners. This revision of the Resettlement Handbook incorporates updates to UNHCR policy and practice since the release of the 2004 edition of the Handbook. The previous annexes are replaced by website hyperlinks to reference documents, some of which are internal documents accessible only to UNHCR staff. Resettlement States have described their policies and programmes in individual Country Chapters which are an integral part of this Handbook. As these Country Chapters are subject to frequent changes, they are not included in the printed Handbook, but are available online at http://www.unhcr.org/ resettlementhandbook.
