The objective of the program was to enhance the leadership skills of female leaders and increase the participation of women in local governance processes. The workshop aimed to empower participants with essential leadership skills to strengthen governance and promote a transformed governance system focusing on gender equality and women's political empowerment.

Throughout the workshop, participants engaged in various group activities and co-curricular activities to build confidence in public speaking, develop community improvement efforts, strengthen local government proceedings, and enhance the overall governance process. Relevant agencies, such as the National Commission for Women and Children, along with other Local Government members, were invited to present on women and Local Governments/Elected Offices and share their experiences as leaders.

The programme is supported towards increasing women representation by the European Union (EU) Project "Strengthening Good Governance and Digitisation in Bhutan".
