The Ministry of Economic Inclusion, Small Business, Employment, and Skills (MIEPEEC) has launched the inaugural edition of an unprecedented female leadership program titled “Women’s Direction” on January 12, in Rabat, with the support of the Millennium Challenge Account-Morocco Agency (MCA-Morocco) and the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC).
As read on MCA’s official website, the organization of this program, which is aimed at around a hundred female executives and managers within MIEPEEC and its entourage, is part of the “Support for the Promotion of Gender Equity in the Workplace” component of the “Compact II” cooperation program, which was signed by the governments of Morocco and the United States of America, represented by MCC.
This inaugural edition, which was presided over by Younes Sekkouri, Minister of Economic Inclusion, Small Business, Employment, and Skills, Malika Laasri, Director General of the MCA-Morocco Agency, and Carrie Monahan, Resident Director of MCC in Morocco, is divided into two stages: a first module that was held on January 12 and 13, and a second module to be held on February 21 and 22.
In order to help women executives and managers accomplish their professional goals and play their part as a catalyst for development, “Women’s Direction” intends to accompany and support them throughout their professional careers and to improve their position as leaders in their respective fields, explained MMC.
This creative program translates the recommendations of the New Development Model, particularly with regard to improving the female activity rate, increasing it from the current 20% to 30% in 2030 and 45% by 2035.
It is based on the promotion of female leadership as a key element for achieving gender equality in the workplace and promoting sustainable economic development.
