“Dialogues with Women in Construction” held on Dec 3, 2019 at the British Council Hall in Dar es Salaam.

Those few women who have decision-making positions in the construction industry must empower young women by creating pathways to firmly embed new female graduates into the industry. “Networking and Collaboration: Key to Making a Dynamic Impact” was the theme for our first talk in the series “Dialogues with Women in Construction” held on Dec 3, 2019 at the British Council Hall in Dar es Salaam.

Special thanks also go to our program sponsor, Simba Cement Company PLC who provided the resources to make these important events possible. A loving and collegial recognition goes to all volunteer mentors who took time out from their busy lives to help a new generation of women break into the construction industry.

“Dialogues with Women in Construction” has the goal of creating a platform for women in the industry and the next generation of construction industry leaders to share their stories, build their networks and exchange their ideas, and share their perceptions on different issues affecting women in their work places. Above all, “Dialogues with Women in Construction” is a platform that celebrates the success of women in our industry and showcases women role models for young professional to learn from.
