Good Practices and InnovATIONS in Public Governance Asia and the Pacific Republic of Korea 2011 Category 5 — 2nd Place Winner Initiative: 1057 – Online Career Coaching Services Institution: Gyeonggi Women’s Development Centre Description The Gyeonggi Women’s Development Center (GWDC) is dedicated to expanding women’s career capabilities and economic empowerment. The center utilizes e- learning such as an online career coaching service and e-Human Resource Development system for increased efficiency. Rather than solely providing education and training, GWDC opted to include career development consulting and job placement, so as to provide a comprehensive program aimed to realize the goals of female employment. Furthermore, GWDC provided gender sensitive e-learning by offering high-quality contents and management services that specifically meet female needs. GWDC established the first ever program in the country aimed at cultivating women information specialists, and initiating the first program for women entrepreneurs. In order to enhance the success of GWDC, an employability index was created to reflect the actual problems and needs of career-interrupted women. The program also boosts female confidence and accompanies them through every step of the job application process. This has served as an even more comprehensive approach to increasing the employability of women in the country. 58
2011 Category 5: Egypt Western Asia Egypt 2011 Category 5 — 1st Place Winner Initiative: 932 – Women Health Outreach Program Institution: Ministry of Health Description The National Cancer Institute in Cairo Registry has reported breast cancer to represent 35.1% of female cancers in Egypt with over 80% of such cancers at stages III and IV, highly developed cancer stages. Insufficient efforts have been aimed at early detection screenings and many of Egypt’s rural poor do not have easy access to health care and are unable to afford proper treatments. A partnership between the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology and the Ministry of Health is expanding healthcare provision to women nationwide by using information and communication technologies (ICT). They developed the “Women Health Outreach Program” (WHOP), a government-funded program that offers free breast screening and therapeutic procedures for all Egyptian women over the age of 45 within their local communities. Breast health awareness and clinical care delivery is offered at all levels of the diagnosis as well as treatment and post-treatment care. 59
