Programme

Women's Leadership & Governance

A Leadership Academy, mentorship and advocacy training that put women into the environmental policy and governance forums where decisions are actually made.

In design

Women remain underrepresented on environmental boards, in policy negotiations and in the ownership of green enterprises - not for want of capability, but for want of access to education, capital, networks and platforms.

This pillar is the direct answer. It does not train women to wait for an invitation; it prepares them for the seat and then works to open it.

What this programme does

  • The USAW Leadership Academy
  • Mentorship pairings and networking events
  • Leadership and advocacy training
  • Support for participation in environmental policy forums

How we will measure it

USAW is pre-launch, so these indicators have no baseline yet. Baselines will be set during Phase 1 research and reported annually, disaggregated by sex and age.

  • Women completing leadership programming
  • Policy forums and consultations with supported participation
  • Supported women appointed to environmental boards or policy bodies
