The Women's Leadership Training in Economics Program - also known as WLTIE - is a program designed to strengthen the macroeconomic policy capacity of developing countries by educating promising women leaders. WLTIE scholars travel to the United States to expand their technical skills and personal leadership abilities through Masters-level coursework, internships, conferences, and networking. Upon receiving a degree, each scholar must return to her home country where she is expected to pursue a career in economic policy-making and public service through the government or a non-governmental organization. Under WLTIE, 19 scholars from seven countries are pursuing Masters degrees in economics and development at universities throughout the United States.
