WOMEN LEADERSHIP AND IMPACT IN ASIA 2nd Run
30 June – 02 July 2016
Introduction Asia lies at the heart of global growth, and women lie at the heart of Asia. Over the course of the last thirty years, nowhere has the progress been so rapid and yet the contrasts run so deep. VISHAKHA DESAI 2012
Creating an environment where talent can thrive and rise to the top is critical in achieving fully productive organisations and governments. Despite significant advances over recent decades throughout the world, gender equality and women’s leadership still lags in Asia. Women are still a significantly untapped resource. Societal pressures, cultural norms and structural barriers must be shifted to enable the advancement of women and societies. As the leading public policy school in the region, the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore is addressing this challenge by providing women across Asia and the Pacific with knowledge, practical skills, support and networks to thrive in public leadership roles. This unique three-day workshop will build the capacity of women leaders who are influencing social, economic and political change in Asia. The programme focuses on developing personal expertise in core skills and on challenging structures that are hampering gender equality.

About SINGAPORE
One of the world’s global cities, Singapore has evolved rapidly from a small trading outpost to a dynamic, multi-cultural and cosmopolitan city-state. Singapore’s transformation and development during its first 50 years has gained global recognition, and is especially notable since the country lacks natural resources and domestic raw materials. Through consistent adaptation of best practices and development of own solutions, Singapore has grown to be respected as a capable and forward-looking nation. Political leadership, strategic planning, policy design and implementation have propelled the society upwards and forwards, resulting in a high standard of living and a sound environment for investments, scientific development, education and research. Singapore’s civil service is considered to be one of the most competent, efficient and uncorrupt bureaucracies in the world, and is considered a key component in Singapore’s successful development. Foreign government agencies and leaders see immediate value in learning from Singapore’s experience. The country frequently receives delegations and officials interested to gain knowledge and ideas to benefit their own public administration, policies and governance systems. Universities and institutions in Singapore frequently play hosts to renowned scholars, thinkers and global leaders, and the nation acts as headquarters to many leading international organisations and companies. Through its geographical accessibility, ease of communication, high levels of security and safety as well as a business-friendly climate, Singapore has become a melting pot of diverse cultures and perspectives Participants who have attended our Executive Programmes have benefited from this enriching and meaningful learning experience.
