Leadership becomes most visible when circumstances are difficult.

Faith and development are sometimes treated as separate areas of life.

In South Sudan, however, these areas are closely connected. Faith communities are part of the social fabric of the country. Churches,…

Women have always contributed to the survival, stability, and recovery of South Sudanese communities, often under conditions in which their work receives little recognition.

Leadership is often associated with authority, position, recognition, and control. A leader is imagined as the person at the front of the room, the person whose name appears on the document, the person who makes the final decision, or the person surrounded by others waiting for instructions. But leadership is much bigger than position. True…
