Women's Leadership Academy

CSI with support from the Government of Canada-funded Regional Programme, Foundations for Health, and Empowerment Education (F4HE), and Advancing Gender Equity through Civil Society (AGECS) project had launched the Women's Leadership Academy (WLA), which includes in-person and online courses, a mentoring program, and other activities. The WLA has been successfully implemented in five East African countries—Kenya, Madagascar, Mozambique, Tanzania, and Uganda—and in two Asian countries—Afghanistan and Pakistan. By investing in emerging women leaders, this six-month blended program will support gender equality and the institutional development of women-led organizations.

The WLA program aims to equip women with the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to lead and create positive change within their organizations and communities. By fostering a supportive network for women leaders, the program promotes mentorship and collaboration across sectors, ultimately contributing to the broader goal of sustainable development in Central Asia. Participants will benefit from invaluable networking and mentorship opportunities tailored for women leaders in civil society organizations (CSOs).
