This paper summarises the main findings of a programme of research into leadership undertaken by CORAT Africa in Kenya, INTRAC in Malawi and the Community Development Resource Network (CDRN) in Uganda.
These organisations interviewed 45 non-governmental organisation leaders to find out their perspectives on leadership; the nature of the leadership change processes they had experienced; and the factors that had promoted and constrained change in their leadership behaviour in the past.
Leadership development is currently being prioritised as a crucial capacity building intervention, both by leaders of African CSOs themselves as well as by donors and other stakeholders. This paper highlights the kind of contextual issues that practitioners need to consider when undertaking such interventions.
