The programme’s main focus is to develop the competencies of women by empowering and building capacity in politics, with the aim of improving the relevant knowledge and skills and providing training for women who are aspiring to get involved energetically in politics and decision-making processes. Therefore, the women’s main focus on a career in politics and decision-making organizations is two-fold: acquiring competency in politics and development planning, and management and acquiring competency in the disciplines of Empowerment, Leadership, Democracy and Governance. The aim of this programme is “to provide women with the wide range of knowledge and ability to effectively manage development programs with good governance in politics”.
