The executive short course is about Gender Equality and Women Empowerment. Women are still often worse off than men, and therefore including a focus on women empowerment will be instrumental to closing the gender gap. In order for gender equality to improve, women’s and men’s needs and opportunities need to be addressed not only at the community level but also system-wide. Attention to gender and women empowerment-related issues and institutionalization is therefore important. The program will address a number of relevant issues, ranging from strategy and policy towards agency and constraints at the individual level and ways to overcome these.

Demonstrate the value of diversity, equity, and inclusion in your organization in order to turn dialogue into action and lead transformative change.

We’ve all heard and used the words ‘equality’ and ‘diversity’ before but what do they actually mean and how do they affect you as an employer or employee?
