300810 TRAINING LEADERSHIP FOR SOUTH BVILLE WOMEN
By Veronica Hannette

A week-long programme on leadership Training of Trainers was held last week at the Chabai Rehabilitation centre.

The programme was conducted presenting different training tools that participants can utilize in their family and the community programmes.

The main focus was on training women from South Bougainville that is Siwai, Buin, and Bana districts.

The training helped them to identify what issues they are facing in their particular areas and how they can address them.

South Bougainville women were targeted because they come from communities that are still facing conflicts.

The women were urged to look back on their past, learn, and progress on developing their area.

The workshop is targeting women as women can break the barrier of conflict and bring peace.

Issues such as land disputes, drugs and early marriage were highlighted as problems that needs to be tackled head on.

This is the first training done in Buka, similar programme will be conducted in the Southern Region this week.
