Key Achievements
These achievements reflect strong collaboration between the government, civil society, and international partners
Conducted Two Major Training Workshops
NeWMaP successfully organised two comprehensive training sessions focused on mentoring and peer support for women leaders. These workshops equipped female ministers, deputies, and MPs with essential skills to enhance their leadership and collaborative effectiveness.
Officially Launched by President Julius Maada Bio in 2024
In 2024, NeWMaP was officially re-launched by His Excellency President Julius Maada Bio, signifying strong national support for gender equality. The launch marked a renewed commitment to advancing women’s leadership and empowerment across Sierra Leone.
Established and Furnished a Secretariat within MoGCA
NeWMaP established a fully functional Secretariat housed within the Ministry of Gender and Children’s Affairs (MoGCA). This milestone ensures the network has a central hub for coordination, planning, and implementation of its initiatives.
Recruited Two Dedicated Staff Members
To ensure smooth operations, NeWMaP recruited two full-time staff members to manage daily activities. This has strengthened the network’s capacity to execute programs and maintain consistent engagement with members and partners.
Revitalised the Defunct Council of Women Councillors
NeWMaP successfully revitalised the long-dormant Council of Women Councillors, re-establishing it as a key partner in local governance. This move has strengthened the representation and influence of women at the district and ward levels.
Trained and Launched the Network of Female Councillors (NFC)
The Network of Female Councillors (NFC) was trained and officially launched to support NeWMaP’s objectives at the grassroots level. This initiative enhances coordination and amplifies the voices of women leaders across all districts of Sierra Leone.
