Asia Women Leaders Program
The Asia Women Leaders Program (AWLP) aims to address significant gaps in women’s leadership in the Asia and Pacific region.

In the past three years, 73 senior women government officials from mostly ministries of finance, planning and infrastructure-related ministries from 24 countries in the Asia and Pacific region participated in leadership training.
