The ARROW Resource Kit on Leadership and Management (ARK) is a compilation of some of ARROW’s most effective governance and management tools and resources that have been developed by the organisation over the past 20 years. The Board of Directors (BOD) of ARROW first discussed the idea of this publication nearly a decade ago, and although enthusiasm for the project never waned, it took a significant amount of energy, resources and time to finally get the project off the ground. We see ARK as part of ARROW’s long-term objective of strengthening women’s NGOs and the women’s movement at large.
