As our mission in Tanzania draws to a close, the AEPI delegation has engaged in several significant visits to European embassies in Dar es Salaam. These visits have been pivotal in fostering international support and collaboration for enhancing women’s leadership within the East African Community (EAC) region.
Key Discussions on Women’s Leadership
Throughout these visits, conversations centered on the critical importance of women’s leadership in the EAC region. We explored various ways to offer capacity-building support to both current and aspiring women leaders. These discussions highlighted the need for comprehensive strategies that empower women to take on leadership roles and influence decision-making processes effectively.

Looking Ahead
The successful completion of our mission in Tanzania marks a significant step in our ongoing efforts to strengthen women’s leadership across the EAC region.
