NAMA Women Advancement Establishment (NAMA) has launched the Girl Ambassadors for Peace (GA4P) programme in collaboration with Global Network of Women Peacebuilders (GNWP) in Bangladesh, to bring leadership skills to the nation’s local women and female Rohingya refugees.

The programme is being conducted under the directives of Her Highness Shaikha Jawaher Bint Mohammad Al Qasimi, wife of His Highness Dr Shaikh Sultan Bin Mohammad Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah, and Chairperson of NAMA.

The programme aims to train 400 Bangladeshi young women and girls over 16 years of age, including Rohingya refugees residing in Bangladesh.

Through its four pillars of leadership, literacy, peacebuilding and economic empowerment, the GA4P programme will assist its participants to assume their role effectively in nation building.
