Women at the NTC are at par with the men in terms of number and professional advancement opportunities. There is no “glass ceiling” to speak off.

NTC has an existing Gender and Development Program (GAD) where women meet and plan their work program.

The NTC allocates up to 5% from the administrative budget for GAD programs.

While women are prioritized to attend training programs there are hardly no funds to finance it.
