The Swahili edition of the Leading to Choices manual (Uongozi Bora: Kitabu Cha Mafunzo Ya Uongozi Kwa Wanawake) has been used by WLP and our partner organization the Women's Self Promotion Movement (WSPM) in leadership training workshops conducted with refugee women and girls (living in Zimbabwe) from such countries as Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Rwanda, as well as in workshops held in Tanzania. Working collaboratively in the Leading to Choices workshop setting, diverse groups of women are recognizing their leadership capabilities and empowering themselves to improve their quality of life; enhance their social, economic, and political status; and address conflict resolution and peace-building in their countries. The wide variety of programs initiated by workshops participants include income-generation projects, an adult literacy center, and an intra-refugee camp conflict resolution committee.

Women Refugees in Zimbabwe and Lebanon Work to Improve Quality of Life in Camps

Small Group DiscussionFrom October-December 2003, nearly 100 women and girl refugees participated in leadership development workshops organized by WLP and its partners Machreq/Maghreb Gender Linking and Information Project (MACMAG GLIP) in Lebanon and the Women's Self-Promotion Movement (WSPM) in Zimbabwe. MACMAG GLIP and WSPM facilitated workshops that provided training in effective communication, collaborative decision-making, and techniques for articulating and developing individual and group projects. Working together in the workshop setting, diverse groups of refugee women learned to recognize their own leadership capabilities and empowered themselves to improve the quality of life in the refugee camps, enhance their status as refugees in their hosts countries, and address conflict resolution and peace-building in their home countries.
