Event Details

Higher Education Resource Services, East Africa (HERS-EA) ACADEMY provides an intensive leadership and management development curriculum which equips women with skills needed to advance their personal career development and successfully navigate the institutional environment where they operate. The goal of the HERS-EA training is to raise the proportion of women in leadership and management positions in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Eastern Africa (Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, Rwanda, and Uganda).

The program is focused on managing and leading change, human resource development and institutional effectiveness. The ACADEMY prepares every participant to strengthen and expand her leadership skills by working closely with HERS-EA resource persons and staff. Participants will find the ACADEMY to be a safe environment to share confidential matters.

Following five previous successful Academies, the Sixth HERS-EA ACADEMY will be offered in a one-week blended (virtual and in-person) format.

Theme: “‘AND STILL I RISE’: ENABLING YOU TO RISE ABOVE AND BEYOND INSTITUTIONAL AND PERSONAL BARRIERS TO WOMEN LEADERSHIP.

Date and Time: 3rd-7th July 2023, 8:30AM to 5:00PM EAT each day.

Keynote Speaker: Professor Maggie Kigozi

Opening Remarks: Professor Barnabas Nawangwe, Vice Chancellor, Makerere University
