Uongozi Institute Women’s Leadership Programme 2025 for Female Leaders

The Women’s Leadership Programme allows senior and emerging female leaders to navigate the unique leadership challenges that deter female professionals in the workplace from occupying senior leadership positions.

The programme aims to enhance their ability to make strategic choices; lead people and resources; and excel in personal and leadership qualities.

‘Uongozi’ means leadership in Kiswahili, and inspiring and strengthening leadership is the core purpose of the organisation. Established in 2010 by the Government of Tanzania, UONGOZI Institute is dedicated to inspiring and equipping Tanzanian as well as African leaders to deliver inclusive and sustainable solutions for their nations and Africa.
