TAFISA and Fiji Sports Commission receive UNESCO grant to lead Oceanian Capacity-Building Programme

TAFISA and the Fiji Sports Commission are proud to announce that they have been allocated a grant from UNESCO to implement the “Women Leadership Through Sport for All – Training the next Generation of Women Sport for All Leaders in Oceania” programme in 2021. The programme is also in partnership with the International Working Group on Women and Sport, whose Chair is currently located in New Zealand and next conference is scheduled for 5 – 8 May 2022 in Auckland. 

The programme will consist in a mentoring scheme whereby 10 Oceanian young women will be selected as mentees and be associated with 10 experienced mentors to train them as the future Sport for All leaders in the region. This will be supported by a capacity-building workshop and the creation of an alumni network.

The programme takes inspiration from the successful Women Leadership programme jointly launched in 2019 with the African Union Sports council Region 5 an which was already supported by the UNESCO Participation Programme.
