To launch the initiative and for its first activity, Madam Ma.

The Embassy personnel benefited from the hands-on training by Madam Vicky on the proper and creative ways to set a table, useful for hosting official luncheons, dinners and events-- an essential part of the personnel’s functions in the Foreign Service.

The Embassy fully supports the skills development of its personnel, which remains a key part of the gender and development agenda of the DFA and its Foreign Service Posts.
