The 'Leadership for Gender Equality' is a new British Council programme focused on progressing gender equality and addressing the gender gaps in leadership by providing dialogue and capacity-building opportunities to civil society and higher education leaders. The 'Leadership for Gender Equality' programme seeks to support social transformation in the programme countries by implementing activities that aim at strengthening skills and networks for gender equality and increasing the participation of women in leadership across the social development and education sectors. The programme aims to attract regional youth and senior networks connecting civil society, non-governmental organisations, and educational institutions.
