The Renaissance Strategic Centre of the Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development (ARDD) civil society organisation, and GMI have formally come together to facilitate dialogue and exchange knowledge and experiences between stakeholders, to enhance civic space internationally and nationally. This aligns with ARDD’s broader objectives under the Arab Transformation Programme, on civic space, civil society and localisation.
Our November 2024 webinar examined collective leadership. Collective leadership is not easy as most of us are used to top-down leadership. Inevitably, individuals and organisations who come together for a shared purpose, also have diverging interests, and will want to get something for themselves out of the collaboration, not just give their time, energy, ideas and resources to it. In this webinar we explored what makes collective leadership work, what challenges to it frequently arise, and how they can best be dealt with.
The insights of the participants, but especially of the panelists Naomi Tulay-Tsolanke, Apollo Gabazira and Manal Wazani, as well as the learning from others, on Network Weaving, Impact Networks and collective impact, are captured in this new guidance paper, full of practical tips: Collective Leadership - Making it Work.
