NLDP in Context

At the 34th World Conference a motion was proposed to ensure continuous development of WAGGGS Leadership Development Program (WLDP) by:•Exploring opportunities for developing regional/national WLDP elements and to run pilot WLDP-element events.•Making the existing WLDP accessible to more of the many qualified girls and young women in WAGGGS around the world•Using the valuable experiences (methods, theory and material) gained from WLDP to create tailor-made leader training adapted to the needs of MOs at world, regional and/or national level.•Ensuring the existing WLDP is continuously evaluated and developed to reflect new developments on leadership, diversity and gender to secure the relevance and sustainability of the programme.
