Abstract
The Container Control Programme – Women’s Professional Development Programme (CCP – WPDP) is a unique training program for women customs officers across the Asia-Pacific. The CCP – WPDP provided an opportunity to build participants’ leadership skills, bridge the gender gap and prepare themselves to be future customs leaders. The program featured various speakers from diverse agencies, leadership coaching and workshops. Participants said the program had a highly positive impact, the lessons learned will assist on their future leadership journey, and other officers would benefit from future CCP – WPDP programs. This paper advocates the CCP – WPDP as an excellent model for building the capacity and confidence of women in Customs, enabling them to actively pursue leadership opportunities at all levels of customs administrations. This paper recommends that similar training programs are implemented in all customs administrations and regular collaborative training programs between customs administrations established as a great way to build cooperation between countries, enhance international relationships and provide knowledge-sharing opportunities.
