The Working Group on Higher Education (WGHE) of the Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA), in 2006, collaborated with the Association of African Universities (AAU) to develop a Toolkit for Mainstreaming Gender in Higher Education in Africa, in response to a felt need to bridge persistent gender gaps in tertiary education institutions in Africa. The Toolkit, which is now available in English, French and Portuguese and comprises ten modules and literature review, provides practical guide on how to initiate a gender-mainstreaming program and establish helpful processes. Beginning July 2008, WGHE, will partner with the UNESCO Bamako Cluster Office to deliver an online training course, for academics and teachers, using the Toolkit.

Introduction

Leadership is recognized as one of the key factors contributing  to successful achievement of goals, however simple or complex these goals may be.  Weak leadership and inappropriate leadership  are known to be  recipes for failure and frustration.  

Leadership exists at all levels, whether this is as the leader of a  class at  school, as leader of a sports team, as leader of a women’s group, as leader of a large institution,  as leader of a country or of a multinational organization.   In addition different types of institutions require different types of leadership.  A religious organization will require a different type of leadership from a business organization;  a hospital will require a different type of leadership from a  hotel;  and an educational institution will require a different type of leadership from an engineering institution.
