Fahimta Women and Youth Development Initiative (FAWOYDI) in collaboration with ActionAid and Canada Global Affairs have trained women drawn from various community based organizations in Bauchi on project management.
Executive director FAWOYDI Hajiya Maryam Garba while declaring the three day training open Tuesday at Jolly hotel Bauchi explained that the exercise was under the women and leadership voice program aimed at empowering women in the area of involvement in politics and leadership.
According to her, the project which will last for five years was designed to teach the participants how to plan and execute the project successfully.
She said 24 women selected from 12 community based organizations were attending the workshop charging them to step down the training to others.
Maryam added that aside women’s involvement in leadership, the program is also geared towards empowering women economically and addressing gender based issues.
“At the end of the training, the participants should be able to stand on their own. It is my belief that after this exercise, they will be able to learn more and execute their projects smoothly”. She noted.
