It has garnered a great deal ofinterestfrom a cross-section of the local work force, both from the private and public sector, and it has enjoyed great success. To date, a total of 89 mentees have been able to benefit from the experience and expertise of established professionals enabling them to develop personal and professional skills.

These mentors have very generously and continuously volunteered their time to give back to the local community and to help others as they make their way in their professional journeys. I know from feedback received that mentees enjoy practical support, excellent guidance and thatthey benefit hugely from the lived experience oftheir mentors. The mentors have made some valuable observations, which we will take on board for the future. I also knowthat many partnerships established as a result ofthe mentorshipcontinue informallypast the official end of each cycle. This is indicative of the sound matching process by the Panel of the Women’s Mentorship Programme and of the mutually beneficial and enriching nature of the mentor-mentee relationships. The Programme’s success is in no small measure a result of the enthusiastic and generous contribution made by mentors. I am hugely indebted to all mentors and am very pleased to have been able to thank these mentors for their unstinting support in person.”
