The scheme aims to promote the equal participation of women in leadership and management roles during the policy-making process between 2021 and 2030, with the primary aim to promote women’s potential and creativeness to meet sustainable development goals on gender equality and women’s empowerment.

In line with these targets, the percentage of women working in the personnel planning scheme will be at least 40% by 2025, with this figure rising to 50% by 2030.

Furthermore, the country also aims to have 75% of women in the personnel planning scheme undergo training by 2025, with this increasing to 90% five years later. In areas inhabited by ethnic minority groups, leaders must consist of ethnic people in line with the local population structure.

The programme itself saw a host of measures outlined in a bid to realise the set targets, including completing policies and legal framework, whilst improving the efficiency of implementation of policies regarding female leaders and female leader works. In addition, there will be an enhancement in training and raising public awareness of gender equality, along with the roles of women, moving forward.
