The World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Global Gender Gap Report 2022 shows that women account for 31% in leadership positions. <\/p>\n

Different partners in the areas of women empowerment continue to expend much effort to bridge the gender gap, which in turn has a negative impact to the economy and wellbeing. <\/p>\n

In light of celebration of this year\u2019s International Women\u2019s Day, different institutions have organized an event dubbed \u2018Mentoring Walk & Environment\u2019 which will bring together women and girls. <\/p>\n

Participants will come from public institutions, private sector, non-governmental organizations and youth representatives among others. <\/p>\n

Walking through Nyandungu Eco-Tourism Park, interactive talks, hearing testimonies, women\u2019s performances, networking and sharing lunch are among activities expected to mark the event. <\/p>\n

Managed by QA Venue Solutions, Nyandungu Eco-park was opened in 2022. <\/p>\n

Stretched on 121.7 hectares in size, including 70 hectares of wetland and 50 hectares of forest; the wetland also features a medicinal garden, a Pope\u2019s Garden, five catchment ponds, three recreation ponds, a 10km network of walking and cycling paths, viewing areas, picnic areas, an information centre, and a restaurant among other facilities.<\/p>\n

It is home to more than 62 local plant species and over 100 bird species.<\/p>\n

Participants will sit in pairs at Nyandungu \u2013Eco-Park for a networking session before walking through the recreational facility. <\/p>\n

KORA Coaching Group designed the feasibility of the walk.<\/p>\n

The company believes that coaching can help people especially women in leadership to shape their future. <\/p>\n

It is also convinced that the youth accounting for 60.3% of the country\u2019s population can benefit from coaching sessions as they are empowered to make the right decisions, hence fast tracking individual progress and national development as well.<\/p>\n

Bourbon Coffee will host participants at its restaurant in Nyandungu and serve them with coffee and other courses.<\/p>\n

The event will start from 6:00 a.m. to be concluded at 9:00 a.m. <\/p>\n
