Breadcrumb Learning and development Leadership Development Grants Leadership Development Grants Leadership development grants aim to promote closer regional collaboration and impactful knowledge sharing by supporting visits between our member organisations. Leadership development grants are awarded to senior level managers of our member organisations who have participated in regional Leadership in Action meetings. This grant enables them to visit another organisation in their region to learn about topics related to their area of work through peer-to-peer learning, observation and networking. These short visits help leaders to develop specific skills in areas such as: Acquiring practical leadership insights Coordinating effective cancer control campaigns Implementing communication strategies In 2019, eighteen members were awarded leadership development grants following Leadership in Action meetings that took place in Latin America, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and North Africa, and Francophone Africa. 2019 Programme Impact A recent survey of our 2019 leadership development grantees showed that: What do our grantees say? grantee quotes "The visit met my expectations in giving me the skills necessary to draw analysis and comparisons for advocacy, programming and fundraising techniques used locally in Kurdistan and in Jordan by the King Hussein Cancer Foundation (KHCF).
