Enrolment options
The "African Women Leadership" program is a pioneering program led by the National Institute of Governance and Sustainable Development (NIGSD) in Egypt to enhance the role of women in leadership positions, promote equal opportunities, mainstream gender perspectives among government structures, and support governance principles for sustainable development. The program has been organized in a face to face and/or blended format where it hosted a good mixture of leading women from different countries in Africa.
This online course is part of a knowledge dissemination effort from NIGSD to make the content of the program available online and accessible anywhere, any time. This would maximize the program outreach, upscale the target audience, and create a network that brings together women from all over the continent to share their leadership stories.
