The Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC) has partnered with the Government of Germany to launch the Women Leadership Development Course. This two-week program is designed to equip women leaders from across Africa with the essential skills, knowledge, and confidence to excel in military, police, and law enforcement agencies.
Thirty exceptional participants, comprising 27 women and 3 men from Nigeria, Ghana, The Gambia, Libya, and Sierra Leone, have been selected for this year’s course. The program is fully funded by the Government of Germany through the German Embassy in Accra, demonstrating their commitment to advancing women’s leadership in Africa.
The Women Leadership Development Course aims to bridge the gap in leadership positions held by women in the security sector. By providing a transformative learning experience, the course will empower participants to overcome challenges and reach their full potential.
Key Benefits of the Course:-
- Enhanced Leadership Skills: – Participants will acquire essential skills to effectively lead and manage teams in complex security environments.
- Networking Opportunities: – The course provides a platform for participants to build relationships with peers from diverse backgrounds and countries.
- Confidence Building: – Participants will develop the confidence to take on leadership roles and drive change in their respective organizations.
The launch of this course is a significant step towards promoting gender equality and empowering women in leadership positions. As the participants complete the program, they will become part of a growing network of women leaders shaping the future of Africa’s security sector.
