The Mopane Leadership: Empowering Changemakers with CivLegacy Foundation
At CivLegacy Foundation, leadership is not just a role; it’s a journey of transformation and empowerment. Through our Mopane Leadership Programme, we invest in the personal and professional growth of civil society leaders, offering coaching, mentorship, and wellness retreats. By fostering collaboration, readiness for change, and effective succession planning, we ensure that leaders are equipped to drive meaningful change in their communities. Leadership at CivLegacy Foundation is about creating resilient, innovative, and inclusive organizations that inspire social justice and human dignity.
About the Mopane’ Leadership Program
The Mopane’ leadership program supports leadership development and wellness of leaders through coaching and mentorship, facilitating collaboration among leaders, providing information to leaders, supporting appropriate capacity building interventions, and sourcing responsive funding.
The name Mopane’ was chosen because of the attributes of the Mopané Tree. Mopané is the Shona word for butterfly. This tree has very distinctive butterfly shaped leaves that change from green to beautiful shades of orange and yellow in winter. The Mopané tree is easy to recognize by its extremely rough bark. It provides nesting holes for squirrels and birds that live in natural cavities. Just like the Mopane’ tree, the leadership program at CivSource Africa, takes leaders through a transformative process focusing on -
Awareness. Clarity. Growth.
While the locus of our leadership program is leaders in civil society, we also offer our leadership interventions to leaders in the private and public sector, because in the end, leadership is an inter-connected and intersecting ecosystem.
Long-Term Goal: An aware, radical, transformative, and embodied leader able to deepen, leverage, amplify and pollinate the existing leadership for reproduction at the individual, organizational, collective, and community level.
