Feminist transformative leadership is a learning experience with peasant and gatherer women in Brasil. The experience shared is part of a reflection on the “Changing the World with Rural Women” leadership training project instituted by Rede Mulher de Educação, a nongovernmental organization which I founded in Brazil in 1980. The project developed and acted upon the concept of feminist transformative leadership, which was found to be a better and more effective form of analysis than the old women in development and gender and development approaches.

This document presents a gender analysis report of operations in Tindouf, Algeria which was undertaken in the first quarter of 2019 commissioned by WFP country office in Algeria. The analysis was designed to identify strategic and systematic measurable gender responsive actions across all operations and to contribute to the implementation of the Interim Country Strategic Plan (ICSP) 2019-2022 over the next three years, with gender as a core element of assessment, implementation and monitoring of all programmes. The analysis had three main objectives: i) Gender analysis of the food security and nutritional context in which WFP Algeria’s operations are carried out. ii) If WFP staff and partners in Algeria are to be in a position to provide gender-responsive assistance they need knowledge on how to apply gender in the following main areas of operations: a. Nutrition and food security, b. Education and school feeding,c. Resilience and livelihoods. Iii) Provide recommendations that can be used to develop a Gender Action Plan to translate the ICSP commitments into concrete actions.

Human Development Indices and Indicators: 2018 Statistical Update is the product of the Human Development Report Office (HDRO) at the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Human development is about human freedoms. It is about building human capabilities—not just for a few, not even for most, but for everyone. In 1990 UNDP published the first Human Development Report (HDR). Since then, it has produced more than 800 global, regional, national and subnational HDRs and organized hundreds of workshops, conferences and other outreach initiatives to foster human development. These activities have extended the frontiers of analytical thinking about human progress beyond economic growth, firmly placing people and human well-being at the centre of development policies and strategies.
