Leadership capacity of Jesuits and mission partners in key roles will be enhanced. Joint planning and discernment at the inter-unit level also increasingly needs to be developed. The UAPs, Conference plan, and contextual realities including the impact of Covid-19 serve as important reference points. Further ways to share personnel as well as financial, information, communication, research, and other resources will be pro-actively explored.
Targeted outputs:
9a. The current Leadership Development Program (LDP) is completed by Mar 2021 and the next steps proposed after an evaluation.
9b. An online workshop for Consultors is done in May and Sep 2021.
9c. A baseline study on leadership is done in JCAP to identify leadership development strategies by end-2021. Leadership development of Jesuits at various levels (scholastics, post-tertianship, mid-level leadership, senior leadership) and of lay collaborators are reviewed and enhanced through appropriate means over 2022-2025.
9d. All units (provinces, regions, secretariats, circles) are animated over the next 2 years to develop or review their apostolic plans based on the Conference plan and with more inter-unit, inter-sectoral and cluster-based collaboration and discernment. As far as possible, existing meeting platforms and planning cycles of the units will be leveraged upon.
9e. Research and reflections on the Covid-19 pandemic done by universities and other institutions in JCAP will be consolidated and shared at appropriate platforms.
9f. Review of JCAP statutes in line with GC 36 (Decree 2, no.20a) and approval by Fr General by 1st quarter 2022.
Responsible teams: JCAP leadership development team, JCAP main office, AJCU-AP, Development offices, and other relevant units.
