Africa Liberal Network (ALN) Women Empowerment Programme 2022

The Africa Liberal Network (ALN) Women Empowerment Programme is an annual training scheme for women politicians from African liberal parties who are planning to stand for elected office.

Launched in 2019 by the Africa Liberal Network in partnership with the UK Liberal Democrats and Westminster Foundation for Democracy, the programme aims to develop the knowledge and skills to help win candidate nominations and upcoming elections, and ultimately to support and promote women’s participation and influence in politics.

The Africa Liberal Network is working with Westminster Foundation for Democracy, D66, and the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom to offer this excellent leadership programme for women politicians within the Africa Liberal Network.

The Women Leadership Programme (WLP) is a very prestigious and competitive programme for women in elected public office or senior party officials with the overall goal of furthering the leadership skills they possess. It provides senior women politicians with an invaluable opportunity to build upon their management skills and learn ways to become effective agents for change. The programme provides participants with access to leaders who have held senior government positions, campaigned on complex problems, and produced change in their country.

During the programme, the participants have deepened their understanding of the essential aspects of leadership by exploring them with peers and experts. This programme was brought to life through inspirational contributors. WLP Cohort 2022 will be leaving the programme equipped with exquisite skills and enlarged network of new friends and peer group of women politicians across Africa.
