The Mwele Malecela Mentorship (MMM) Program for Women in NTDs aims to increase gender equality in representation and leadership by developing and supporting mid-career African women to become leaders and champions in NTD elimination at national and international levels. Using an innovative gender-intentional approach, the MMM program’s objective is to increase the overall coverage, effectiveness and impact of NTD interventions by ensuring the support to enable women to overcome gender barriers in access to leadership while also acquiring skills and resources that enable them to be influential leaders and agents of change. The program is being implemented by a consortium of partners led by the WHO Regional Office for Africa.

The gender-intentional approach to our mentorship prioritises programs that address the multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination that impede women's advancement in leadership roles. In this regard, the Mwele Malecela Mentorship Program is committed to selecting diverse cohort members representing different sectors (public, private, academia, NGO, philanthropy), disciplines, and cultural backgrounds.
