The Malaita Provincial Council of Women held its Annual General Meeting on March 25 in the Bahai area of Auki town.
The AGM focused on important tools that will enhance their work in the rural communities.
President Rebecca Awa said the meeting aims to build the capacity of women’s leadership and governance, as well as the development of work plans, budgets, financial reporting, narratives and monitoring.
She said that through the meeting, its members can have access to gain and be equipped with essential knowledge and information related to their work.
“We have noticed and understand that not everyone will have the knowledge of what they are doing. So, with this, it helps and supports us to know more.
“Also, we have stakeholder sessions that allow us women to reach out and build our connections to what is related to our context,” she said.
She said that through that journey, they can access opportunities available and be supported by their stakeholders.
Meanwhile, Awa said that during their AGM, they also finalised two resolutions that can support them.
She said that through these resolutions, governance at the ward level will be strengthened, and there will be a better link with the communities.
“So far, we have reached two resolutions. The first is the affiliation of community groups with the Ward Council of Women, and secondly, the Ward Council will affiliate with the Malaita Provincial Council of Women.
“This will strengthen governance at the ward level and improve linkages within the community,” she said.
