Desde la historia de nuestros países tendríamos dificultades para relacionarnos. Nos separan el océano atlántico y la forma como se cuenta la historia de cada lado. En España, la conquista de América se cuenta a veces como un hito histórico, de progreso. En América Latina, como una invasión plagada de injusticias sociales, de dolor.
In this talk, Jacqueline will reflect on what she’s learned through building Acumen and share her insights on cultivating moral leadership as a new model of leadership for today’s world.

This WISE ALL-IN special publication bears witness to the critical role of leadership in promoting and enabling student and system-deep learning. The collection reveals the centrality of education leadership in the life of communities, for individual and collective wellbeing, and for a sustainable future, locally and globally.
We believe that a better world is possible, a world with universal access to essential healthcare, reduced inequality, more sustainable food supplies, transformed educational systems, and a greater emphasis on the long-term health of our planet. To achieve this, we need visionary and effective teams to guide government institutions and their partners as they navigate constant change, and we need to invest in leadership at the local level. Cultivating leaders and managers requires consistent collective action, prioritisation, and investment. And doing so is our best hope of re-energizing and achieving the SDGs. In this session, senior leaders in education, health, and the environment will discuss a new report by the High-Level Council on Leadership & Management for Development, and present practical examples about how to build the next generation of leaders across sectors.
Locally led development is a complex process that the development community, in the United States and around the world, has spent several decades trying to get right. Yet, despite all the experience and lessons learned, it feels like we are barely beyond the starting line. This publication aims to contribute to the ongoing dialogue on locally led development, especially as to how the United States can address the obstacles posed by U.S. law, regulation, policy, and practice.
In this inaugural talk, Fred reflected on his deepest learnings from building the African Leadership Group, how it’s shaped his beliefs about what kind of leaders we need, and what he’s learned through his work about how to develop this type of leadership.
Over the past two years, the COVID-19 pandemic and racial justice uprisings have moved us to reflect on the type of society and world we want to share. These upheavals have illuminated the colonial roots of our current global development system and the limitations of medical and technological advances to reach the most vulnerable. At the same time, we’ve seen the power of collaborative movements and collective leadership in action. How can we leverage this historical moment to strengthen inclusive networks of diverse, adaptive, equity-driven leaders to effect change across entire ecosystems? This interactive discussion engaging diverse perspectives from funders, government, and local leaders, will explore how collective leadership is cultivated and how greater investments in this networked approach to leadership development can advance our shared vision for a more sustainable and equitable world.
