Who can do it / Target Audience
The growth-oriented career lady in mid-to-top level management position in the private sector, public sector, and civil society, aspiring to be at the apex of both political and corporate leadership.
NB. A similar programme was started in Norway about 10 years ago by our partners because of a quota law that demanded 40% of members in boards to be women. By 2010 62% of the women who took part had either been promoted to leadership positions or Board membership. The figure rose to 89% in 2012.
A baseline survey conducted by the Federation of Kenya Employers (FKE) showed that the upward mobility of women into most management positions, especially to the positions of chief executive officers and board members, is unsatisfactory. Therefore, FKE has developed and customized this program for all ambitious women in Kenya.
To date the program has benefitted over 250 women.
