CERTIFICATE IN AFRICAN WOMEN LEADERSHIP SKILL
About Instructor
Rationale
The paradox of the strengths of the Africa woman as the home maker, keeper and provider is that the contributions of those strengths to the overall economic wellbeing of their homes and state economies are consciously or unconsciously ignored.
World over and African in particular, women have been known to organize and manage developmental projects for substance. However, they have been faced with many challenges created by the environment and society.
It is the therefore imperative to create an environment and opportunity for women in leadership and management to be appreciated and further empowered to enable them play those pivotal roles they are known for. It is, therefore, pertinent and appropriate to capacitate them with the necessary skills aimed at enhancing and developing the Africa woman’s strength in leadership.
