Diploma in Women Empowerment

The primary objective of starting this course is to provide the necessary knowledge, attitudes and skills to utilize women’s leadership for the development of the country. Recent studies show that women’s representation in governance in Sri Lanka is limited. This percentage is the lowest level observed for any country in Asia.

This course is designed to provide women with the educational knowledge and practical skills they need to contribute to policy decision-making by avoiding this situation. Also, women are given the opportunity to participate in good governance in politics as well as in the public and private sectors.

Accordingly, the syllabus of the course has been prepared to provide the participants with the theoretical knowledge needed to develop leadership as well as the necessary knowledge, attitudes and skills through practical training. It is expected to promote the leadership of women at the rural level and adapt their experience and feeling to the activities of those sectors.
