  • Event Summary
    Event Summary Title: Leading Change in United Nations Organizations, Informal Dialogue with Ms. Catherine Bertini Venue: Auditorium, WFP Headquarters Date and Time: Friday, 13 December 2019, from 10:00-11:30 (a welcome coffee will be served from 9:30 in the Peace Garden) Language: English Description Join us as Ms. Catherine Bertini, former head of the World Food Programme (WFP), shares insights from her time in the United Nations system and her recently published report “Leading Change in United Nations Organizations”, which provides food for thought for incoming United Nations officials on a range of issues relating to leadership and change. Ms. Bertini will share a range of ideas, including on the key attributes of leadership in the United Nations, the transition from moving outside to inside the United Nations system, preparing for leadership positions, making difficult and principled decisions, and guidance for leading change. The Rome-based diplomatic community and the United Nations staff at all levels are welcome to attend this leadership moment. Summary of ideas Ms. Bertini wishes to present Drawing from her own experience as Executive Director of WFP for ten years, and later as United Nations Under- Secretary-General for Management and including comments from two dozen other former United Nations officials, Ms. Bertini describes key attributes about leadership with the United Nations. She discusses the transitions from outside to inside the United Nations, preparation for the position, leadership style, importance of United Nations staff, making difficult and principled decisions, and, ultimately, guidance for leading change. Changing United Nations organizations does not always require major reform conducted by governing boards; much can be achieved by committed internal leadership with clear missions, goals, and concerted actions.

  • Educate Girls: the 2003 World Food Prize Laureate Lecture Friday, October 16, 2003 Speaker: Catherine Bertini
    Educate Girls: The 2003 World Food Prize Laureate Lecture Friday, October 16, 2003 Speaker: Catherine Bertini The Honorable Catherine Bertini United Nations Under Secretary General for Management If someone told you that, with just 12 years of investment of about $1 billion a year, you could, across the developing world, increase economic growth, decrease infant mortality, increase agricultural yields, improve maternal health, improve children's health and nutrition, increase the numbers of children - girls and boys - in school, slow down population growth, increase the number of men and women who can read and write, decrease the spread of AIDS, add new people to the work force and be able to improve their wages without pushing others out ofthe work force - what would you say? Such a deal! What is it? How can I sign up? The answer is to educate girls. United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan says we know from study after study that there is no tool for development more effective than the education of girls and women. Let me share some ofthe reasons why. There was a study done by T. Paul Schultz at Yale who said, "Increased schooling of mothers is associated with larger improvements in child quality incomes than increase in the education ofthe father. It has a larger beneficial impact on the child's health, on the child's schooling, and on the child's future adult productivity." Now, this is similar to what the World Food Programme found out when we said we're going to end hunger; therefore we need to get food to women because they're the cooks.

  • Invisible Women
    Invisible Women Catherine Bertini Abstract: Women are ubiquitous and critical to the nutritional well-being of their families, yet they are of- ten invisible to policy-makers, public of½cials, community leaders, and researchers. Effecting signi½cant decreases in the number of hungry poor people, as well as the improvement of nutritional and economic outcomes, requires policy in addition to operational and research priorities that are directed at the needs of women and girls. Downloaded from http://direct.mit.edu/daed/article-pdf/144/4/24/1830649/daed_a_00351.pdf by guest on 25 September 2021 Food is grown to be consumed: by livestock, ½sh, even vehicles. But of course, the primary consumer of food is humankind. And the primary providers of food as meals–in virtually all of the developing world and much of the developed world–are wom - en. As I remarked in my plenary address to the Fourth World Conference on Women in September 1995 in Beijing, China: CATHERINE BERTINI, a Fellow of Women eat last. In almost every society in the world, the American Academy since 2003, women gather the food, prepare the food, serve the is Professor of Public Administra- food. Yet most of the time, women eat last. A woman tion and International Affairs at the feeds her husband, then her children, and ½nally–with Maxwell School of Citizenship and whatever is left–she feeds herself. Even pregnant Public Affairs at Syracuse Universi- women and breast feeding women often eat last when, ty. She is the 2003 World Food Prize of all times, they should eat ½rst.1 Laureate.

    THE WORLD FOOD PRIZE 2015 Borlaug Dialogue International Symposium BORLAUG 101: FUNDAMENTALS OF GLOBAL FOOD SECURITY October 14-16, 2015 - Des Moines, Iowa EMPOWERING WOMEN AND GIRLS THROUGH STEM EDUCATION Panel Moderator: Catherine Bertini October 14, 2015 – 1:35 p.m. Introduction: Ambassador Kenneth M. Quinn President - World Food Prize Foundation Now we’re going to continue with our panel, and the chair is our 2003 World Food Prize Laureate, Catherine Bertini. And you know when Catherine received the World Food Prize and was selected, it was for leading what we considered to have been turning the World Food Programme into the single most effective organization for delivering food to hungry people in all human history. And she came here, though and talked about that very issue that I had never focused on, about how the importance of delivering food through women, and the difference. And the stories, Catherine, of you standing up to the Taliban there so that they couldn't turn women out who were working and the lessons you learned and shared, at least for the World Food Prize and here, I think, for many people really put that issue front and center on the agenda. So thank you for what you’ve done about that, and thank you for your willingness to chair this panel.
