At WEN-Africa, we believe in the power of knowledge-sharing to drive transformation in the energy sector. Today, we proudly announce the successful conclusion of our ‘Training the Trainer’ sessions—an initiative designed to empower women leaders across Africa’s energy landscape. These sessions have not only inspired a new generation of trainers but also set the stage for sustainable growth and gender equality in the industry.
Why Training the Trainer Matters
The ‘Training the Trainer’ initiative was launched to address a key gap in the energy sector: the need for highly skilled, knowledgeable women who can impart crucial expertise to their peers. By equipping women professionals with advanced tools, methodologies, and insights, this program aimed to amplify the voices of women in energy and broaden the impact of gender-inclusive policies across Africa.
What We Accomplished
Over the course of these sessions, we saw:
Hands-on learning experiences that enabled participants to actively engage with complex energy sector challenges.
Tailored content that addressed the unique needs of women in different regions, ensuring that our trainers are equipped to deliver localized, context-specific solutions.
Mentorship and collaboration opportunities, allowing participants to learn from industry veterans while building networks that will support them long after the training.
The Impact
The feedback from participants has been overwhelmingly positive. Many shared stories of how they’ve already begun applying their new skills to their organizations, transforming not just their work environments but also influencing broader industry practices.
One key takeaway was the empowerment of women as change agents. Participants felt more confident in taking on leadership roles and championing initiatives around renewable energy, sustainable practices, and energy efficiency. These new trainers are now equipped to transfer this knowledge, fostering a ripple effect that will continue to elevate women in the energy sector across Africa.
What’s Next?
The conclusion of these sessions is not the end—it’s the beginning. As our newly trained experts go back to their organizations, they carry with them the tools to train even more women, driving a future of sustainability, inclusivity, and innovation.
We at WEN-Africa are committed to continuing this journey. By investing in programs like ‘Training the Trainer,’ we aim to build a stronger, more equitable energy sector where women thrive as leaders and innovators.
A Special Thanks
We extend our deepest gratitude to the trainers Gemma Pinyol Puig, participants, and partners who made this program such a success. Your dedication and passion are the driving forces behind the change we are witnessing.
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to empower and inspire the future of energy in Africa!
