Paul Stokes suggests that women’s mentoring programmes are influenced by their specific context, impacting their design and implementation. This is evident in programmes for women in STEM in Peru and female undergraduates in a UK Business School, where the unique societal and organisational factors shaped the mentoring experience.

The goal was never to replace the human element that makes our programme special, but to find a way to scale its benefits and make it accessible to a wider audience across the WWF Network without increasing the workload.
