"I’ve just completed the Gender Pro course and I’m very satisfied and happy I did so. I would encourage all my development partners and colleagues to, in fact, strengthen their gender skills in programming. I do believe that we will not be able as a collective community to achieve any of our SDGs by 2030 if we do not properly address gender inequality, unequal gender and power dynamics and social norms. So I think it is very much applicable to all sectors in the development areas and I encourage all my colleagues to sharpen their skills and be bold about it."
