A heartfelt appreciation to @InyamibwaRwanda for entertaining our guests by showcasing the beauty of the Rwandan culture through our traditional dance during the opening ceremony of the Intergenerational Governance workshop.
#ReachingHeightsTogether
We explored the difference between governance (structures and processes) and good governance (ethical leadership, transparency, and inclusivity). Through the six WAGGGS Leadership Model mindsets Reflective, Collaboration, Worldly, Gender Equality, Responsible, and Creative & Critical Thinking, leaders can define the skills, attributes, and resources needed to address challenges effectively and promote innovative, inclusive decision-making.

Today, The Min @U_Consolee officiated the World Association of Girl Guides & Girl Scouts, Africa Region Intergenerational Governance Workshop that aims to enhance governance skills, foster collaboration & empower young leaders through experience-sharing & strategic partnerships.
In her remarks, @U_Consolee reiterated that, when generations work together, economies grow faster, societies become more peaceful & communities stronger. "Empowering women and girls through intergenerational collaboration is not just a good policy—it is a necessity." She added
Developing girl-centered, engaging programs, enhancing the membership committee's capacity to promote membership and retention, and outlining the appropriate plan for fund mobilization and membership fee collecting are some of the lessons learned today.
