CEO Summit Uganda, a leading think-tank, together with National Social Security Fund have launched the Lean Forward Modular Program, a comprehensive initiative aimed at transforming the leadership landscape by empowering women to take on top roles in their industries.
The program, which kicks off on August 23, 2024, is designed to address the challenges women face in leadership, providing them with practical tools, perspectives, and support to thrive. Participants will engage in workshops, mentorship sessions, and interactive modules, learning from experienced leaders and peers.
“It is with immense pride that I welcome you to the launch of the Lean Forward Modular Program, a comprehensive and diverse leadership program aimed to equip female leaders with the tools and confidence to tap into their potential and succeed as leaders within their organizations,” said Stephen Mukasa, Country Lead at CEO Summit Uganda.
“Leadership begins with self-awareness, and this program is more than just a course; it’s a movement about changing the narrative, breaking down barriers, and building a future where women are leaders who drive change, inspire innovation, and create lasting impact,” Mukasa added.
The six-month program will focus on nurturing a diverse leadership landscape, examining identities as leaders, and recognizing leadership potential. With only 32.2% of women in senior leadership positions worldwide, this initiative aims to close the leadership gender gap.
“By offering mentorship, training, and opportunities for professional growth, the Lean Forward Modular Program is designed with a clear and focused mission to empower women with the tools, perspectives, and confidence needed to excel,” Mukasa remarked.
