7. ABOUT THE ORGANISERS
The establishment of the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development (KPWKM) is a manifestation of the country’s aspirations, pursuant to the Fourth World Conference on Women, which was held in Beijing in 1995, and has been implemented in accordance to the document entitled “Platform for Action For The Development of Women towards the Year 2000”, i.e.: “Establishment of a full-fledged ministry that demonstrates the government’s commitment to raise the status of women in this country”.
It was first named as the Ministry of Women Affairs and its establishment was announced by YAB the Prime Minister on 17 January 2001. The role and functions of the Ministry were then enlarged and expanded and the ministry was subsequently re-named as the Ministry of Women and Family Development (KPWK) on 15 February 2001. As a result, the Department of Women Affairs (HAWA) and the National Population and Family Development Board (LPPKN) were placed under this Ministry. The role and function of HAWA was subsequently reviewed and restructured and it is now known as the Department for Women Development (JPW).
After the 11th General Election in March 2004, the roles and responsibilities of KPWK were further broadened. On 27 March 2004, the Ministry of National Unity and Social Development was dissolved and some of their functions were subsequently subsumed into KPWK. In line with the restructuring, KPWK was further re-named as the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development (KPWKM).

Included among the main activities is capacity building for NAM member countries in collaboration with other agencies including the diplomatic community, international bodies, private sector, academia and civil society in ensuring empowerment of women and achieve gender equality in NAM countries.

10. CONCLUSION
The programme was timely for many of the women participants to learn about niche marketing especially dealing with agriculture food products using fruits. Women delving into small entrepreneurships can contribute to sustainable income of their household. Working in synergy with the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development is a strategic way that could lead to self-empowerment as it further encourages women to embark in their own business.
TFNet proposes that workshops of similar nature be organized on a yearly basis as it provides exposure and opportunities for aspiring women entrepreneurs as it builds their capacity and develops their business acumen.
