Maseru's 2006 MPP goal Democratic Systems and Practices seeks to 
promote greater participation and leadership by women in 
politics, business and society as leaders. Post objectives are

participate in decision making, to empower them through training 
and involve them in the economic development of the country.  As 
a very successful entrepreneur, Ms. Monkhi will benefit greatly 
from the program and bring back skills that will benefit women.
