"Winnie and I worked together at Oxfam International, and I can categorically state, with utter confidence, that Winnie Byanyima is a fantastic, intelligent, resourceful and principle-based leader."

"A rare gem on the national and international scene. Her work is an endorsement in itself. "

"I had the pleasure of working with Winnie during her tenure as Head of the Gender Team at UNDP. Winnie is the rarest of leaders: bold, courageous and foresighted. It was inspiring to watch her shift the course on so many system-wide issues with an elegance and authority that is entirely her own.
Winnie has been instrumental in elevating gender equality at UNDP and across the UN system at large. It was thanks to her audacious efforts that, for the first time in its history, UNDP included gender equality in its Strategic Plan in 2014. She also founded pioneering programmes such as the Global Gender and Economic Policy Management Initiative (GEPMI), building and convening gender communities of practice around the world. Winnie is one of the most inspiring leaders I have worked with. Her conviction and passion for equality are contagious, and she challenges everyone around her to aim higher. Winnie doesn't just change institutions; she changes the people fortunate enough to work with her."

She brings together strategic insight, political acumen, and genuine empathy in a way that inspires confidence and trust. Winnie is a courageous advocate for those whose voices are often unheard and a highly effective leader capable of driving meaningful change at both organizational and global levels. It is a privilege to know her and to witness the impact of her leadership.
