Box 1 Leadership definition

From: Stakeholder mapping for a complex and diverse population: methodology for identifying leaders across sub-Saharan Africa

Leaders in immunization and RMNCAH-N were defined as: women or men who occupy a position which gives them influence and power over identifying priorities, providing strategic direction, allocating resources, and decision-making within the immunization and/or RMNCAH-N sector at either the sub-regional, regional, national, or continental level.

To identify as women or men leaders, participants will need to answer in the affirmative to one or more of the following questions. In your current role, do you have influence over:

• How decisions are made?

• Which priorities are identified?

• How funding is distributed?

• Strategic direction of your organization or institution?
