Advancing Women's Leadership in Asia and the Pacific

Proposed

The proposed Technical Assistance (TA) will provide leadership training to senior women leaders working in government agencies and state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in male-dominated sectors as well as select women leaders from private sector and civil society organizations (CSOs) to address women's limited representation and voice in decision-making across Asia and the Pacific. It will expand the outreach of ADB's flagship Asia Women Leaders Program (AWLP) through country-focused and subregional training, enhancing women leaders' communication and negotiation skills to maximize their effectiveness in their spheres of influence, as well as build their confidence and networks for professional development. The TA will also strengthen the sustainability of AWLP through a training of trainers (TOT) approach, digital AWLP delivery platform, and alumni resource and/or networking hub.
