A FIRST leadership training for women executives in six local level governments of Jiwaka Province was conducted last week.
A total of 72 women executives with four executives consisting of community development and the Department of Primary Industry representatives facilitated the training.
Facilitators from the PNG Microfinance and PML banks also talked to the women to help them undestand how they could access loans to start small businesses.
The two-day women leadership training held at the Kiam Nazarene Church commenced with a church service aimed also at developing and equipping women with God’s Word.
Representatives of the Jiwaka Provincial Government also witnessed the significant training that ended on a high note, and stressed how the women could operate businesses to earn income to sustain their families.
Community development officers discussed national information and the roles and responsibilities, especially to the 12 executives, and gave them documents containing points in regarding funding and doing business.
The training encouraged each executive to know her role and to be strong and active in their respective districts.
The executives were the ones who would transfer and communicate vital information down to women in the community, the workshop was told.
The facilitators of the training program thanked the Jiwaka Provincial Government for setting up and supporting women’s networks.
The women also thanked Anglimp South Wahgi MP Komun Joe Koim and his Jimi colleague Mai Dop for supporting the provincial women with funding.
The funding was used to conduct training in all six districts.
All the women in each district have been urged to comply and work under their six executives, and to participate proactively in whatever programs or projects the government may initiate in the newly created Jiwaka province.
A second training will be conducted as soon as Governor Dr William Tongamp commits the funds
needed for the logistics of the training.
The training was sponsored by the Jiwaka Provincial Government and is spearheaded by the Jiwaka Provincial Ecumenical Women Council.
Dr Tongamp’s wife, who had stepped in to close the training on her husband’s behalf, indicated that she would like to work closely with the women.
Provincial women’s representative in the Jiwaka provincial executive council, Rosen Kiap, said this was a significant program initiated to help women in Jiwaka Province, and she urged all sons and husbands to support their wives and mothers.
Ms Kiap said establishing women networks was vital because it would slowly move women forward in terms of what they were
trying to do to address poverty, women’s issues, health, crime, and so forth.
