When Eny Nye Bunyui Tamnjong attended the Global Women in Management Workshop in August of 2011, she came with a deep passion to learn everything she could. Already an accomplished trainer within her organization, Eny wanted to expand her skill set so she could do even more to serve her community. As a coordinator with the Jamoh Women’s Common Initiative Group, she facilitated trainings on agriculture techniques, but wanted to expand the areas she trained in to better serve the needs of women in her community. After learning numerous new techniques at the workshop, Eny left with a goal of training a group of women on how to develop a small business plan. Not only did she facilitate this training, but the women who participated added other activities and now plan to increase their maize yields by 5,600 kg within the year. Eny's reputation as a master trainer is growing and she has already been asked to facilitate a training for Bafukum Women on choosing and developing a career and making a business plan.

When Kaythi Win attended CEDPA's Asia Regional Workshop in 2009 on Women Leaders in HIV/AIDS, her goal was to learn leadership skills so she could become an effective advocate for sex workers. In just three years Kaythi has become a well known advocate and a much acclaimed speaker. She spoke at a panel for CEDPA at the 2010 International AIDS conference in Vienna. Most recently, Kaythi gave a rousing presentation at the AWID International Forum on Women's Rights and Development. She spoke out about the discrimination of sex workers and the need for their voices at the table. Using advocacy strategies learned at CEDPA, Kaythi knows she is making a difference in the lives of people who are typically voiceless, "I feel that today I'm working for my community and to develop our program better."
