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.
