‘Arab Women Leadership Outlook’ (AWLO)

About

• In 2009, the ‘Arab Women Leadership Outlook’ (AWLO) report surveyed a group of women who have not only changed the face of their organisations, but have had significant impact on the region as a whole. Four groups of women took part in the study:
  • Arab women business leaders
  • Arab women political leaders
  • Arab women civil society leaders
  • Arab women thought-leaders in the media, academic or cultural spheres
• The AWLO takes a top-down approach in understanding leadership from the perspective of Arab women who are leaders in their fields.

Objective

• To establish conclusions to better understand the ambitions and interests of non-working Emirati women. 
• To set a clear referral source for information on women leadership in the region for all audiences – local, regional and international.
• To promote cutting edge practices in women leadership and thus inspire future leaders by laying out clear benchmarks.
• To provide opportunities to promote innovative solutions for potential women leaders.
• To explore the environment that enables and promotes aspiring Arab women, or hinders them from reaching leadership positions.
