In preparation of International Women’s Day on March 8th, leading directors of various companies in Kenya were invited to a training held by the IFC and UN Women. This corporate governance leadership workshop mainly dealt with how women need to prepare for going into senior director positions. According to the workshop, Kenya is doing pretty well with an average of 18% of board members in the public sector being represented by a different gender. The goal however is to raise that average to 33%. This goal may be a little tough to achieve due to cultural or religious challenges, but we at Krystalline believe that the goal is in fact attainable.
