Women STEP up in Nigeria

All-women cohort graduates from the STEP 2.0 leadership development programme 

Last week the first ever all-women cohort of STEP 2.0 participants graduated from the programme.

During the graduation ceremony, Henrietta Bakura, STEP 2.0 participant and director of the Narcotics and Drug Abuse Division of the Nigeria Department of Food and Drug Services, said, “STEP 2.0 helped me to unlock my potential, approach problems creatively and become a more confident leader.

“I believe the programme can significantly strengthen Nigeria’s health supply chains by fostering leadership, improving system efficiency and promoting local ownership and regional collaboration.”

Strategies for engaging youth in supply chain management careers

People that Deliver and Pam Steele Associates have joined forces to produce Strategies for engaging youth in supply chain management (SCM) careers and the accompanying Work-based learning (WBL) toolkit.

The toolkit offers practical steps for engaging youth, particularly NEET individuals, in WBL activities. It aims to build the skills and confidence needed for successful careers in SCM by exposing participants to real world challenges within the sector.
