The Planing Ministry's National Management Institute (NMI) conducted admission tests for the second batch of a training program for qualifying women at government institutions.

This phase covers the governorates of Alexandria, Port Said, Minya and Luxor.

In a statement released on Monday 11/11/2019, Planning Minister Hala el Saeed said the program is aimed at honing the skills of promising women leaders to assume senior positions at government bodies.

It also targets giving more space for women to hold leading positions at the government, providing that they should meet the criteria of outstanding performance in their current job, their active participation in community development and their loyalty to the public service, she noted.
