The agency, which is the main partner in the programme, is the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ arm entrusted with supporting the efforts of countries across the continent in implementing Africa's Agenda 2063.

 

The programme is taking place on March 10-28, and includes 21 lectures on the topics of sustainable development, good governance, and developing managerial and leadership skills.

 

That is in addition to eight workshops from the four sectors represented in the  training and two days of interactive games.

 

The programme targets the participation of 100 women leaders in senior management positions at ministries or affiliated bodies in African countries, including: the Ministry of Agriculture; the Ministry of Health; the Ministry of Education; and the Ministry of Environment. Also involved are researchers and trainers in the relevant research and training centres.

 

The African Women Leaders Programme targets participants aged 40-55. Some criteria were set for registration and taking part in the programme. This includes a commitment to attend minimum 90% of the training to obtain the certificate.
