The Asian Women in Co-operative Development Forum (AWCF) convened a “Conference to Design Curriculum and Training Manual on Advanced Leadership for Women of Co-ops in Asia” held at NATCCO’s Gaite Room, Quezon City, Philippines from 3-4 May 2007. This activity is part of AWCF’s project supported by MISEREOR of Germany. Aimed at promoting the increased participation of women in leadership and decision-making in co-operatives, community-based savings and credit organizations, and development NGOs and POs engaged in the promotion of co-ops, seven AWCF leaders gave inputs and shared their experiences for the realization of this activity—headed by Mr. Paul Sinnapan, member of AWCF’s Resource Pool and member of the Credit Union Promotion Club (CUPC), Malaysia; Misses Norma Pereyras and Evangeline Lopez, NATCCO’s Women Sector Representative in the Board and Gender Program Officer respectively of the National Confederation of Cooperatives (NATCCO), Philippines; Ms Natchamon Thali, Training Officer of the Credit Union League of Thailand (CULT); and AWCF represented by Misses Salome Ganibe, AWCF Regional Coordinator, Angelita Valdez, AWCF Program Officer, and Brenda Batistiana, AWCF’s Consultant and Member of AWCF’s Resource Pool.

Within a one-and-a-half day Conference, they came-out with a framework for an advanced leadership training manual entitled “A Training Manual for Women Leaders Transforming Co-operatives”. It contains modules on Examining and Developing Motivation to Run for Leadership, Getting Elected as Co-op Leader, and Performing and Sustaining Leadership. Pre-testing of this training manual will be done in the Philippines and Malaysia between 15-26 August 2007 while the Trainers’ Training for this manual is scheduled on October 1-5, 2007 to be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia intended for 30 trainer-participants coming from seven countries. Watch out for the official release of this advanced leadership training manual by the third quarter of 2007.
