Empowering Women
This program is aimed at empowering women to take on leadership positions and succeed in governance, diplomacy, and entrepreneurship.

Women play a vital role in boosting the economy and contributing to the socio-economic development of communities world-wide. And because women tend to pass on their knowledge within their communities, investing in women means investing in communities.

In addition, bringing women’s perspectives into the leadership of both the private and public sectors has proven to be a great stimulus to productivity, inclusion, job creation and growth. This is why women’s empowerment is fundamental in order to accelerate economic growth and ensure sustainable development.

When women are prepared and encouraged to hold leadership position and decision-making roles, it has a proven positive impact on reforms and policies.

This training focuses on raising confidence and building resilience so that women are prepared to pursue their professional objectives and excel in their work. It also provides the skills they will need to become inspiring leaders, empower others, and make a sustainable impact.

Empowering women is at the root of gender equality, intellectual diversity, and creating sustainable economies.
