Minister of Social Care, Constituency Empowerment and Community Development Steve Blackett has acknowledged that most of the community development programmes are skewed towards women.
Blackett told the DAILY?NATION that his ministry would have to pay greater attention to making its programmes more attractive to men.
The minister made this comment minutes after presiding over the Community Impact Programme’s graduation ceremony and exhibition at the Hugh Springer Auditorium at Solidarity House, Hindsbury Road, St Michael, Saturday night.
The female-dominated Impact Programme had 84 people graduated in areas such as nail technology, drapery design and the making of soft furnishings.
