Dubai: Sharjah’s NAMA Women Advancement Establishment (NAMA) said on Sunday it has associated with the London-based Global Thinkers Forum (GTF) to launch the Athena Mena Mentoring Programme 2018 to help women in the region to develop new skills and expertise.

The programme aims to develop talents, abilities and the business acumen of 10-15 women above the age of 22, and provide them with support and networking opportunities, NAMA said in an emailed statement.

The new partnership with a worldwide organisation reflects NAMA’s ever-increasing efforts to empower women locally and globally and equip them with the leadership skills that help them chart their own future path.
