As of 2026/08/06, the Ministry of Economy and Finance announced the successful conclusion of the fourth edition of the Women Leaders Mentorship Programme, which trained 120 public‑sector officials. The initiative, carried out in partnership with CAF – Development Bank of Latin America and the Office of the First Lady, aimed to reinforce leadership capacities among female employees in the nation’s fiscal apparatus. The programme aligns with broader public‑finance reforms seeking to promote gender inclusivity and improve governance standards within the Ministry. Participants benefited from specialized training on budgetary processes, fiscal compliance, and strategic decision‑making, directly supporting the Ministry’s objective of strengthening human capital in public financial management. The closure ceremony highlighted the program’s contribution to enhancing the effectiveness of fiscal policies and increasing the representation of women in senior financial roles. This effort is expected to translate into more efficient allocation of resources and greater transparency in the execution of state budgets.
