  The African Women’s Leadership Symposium is a regional platform that brings together women of power and influence occupying various decision-making positions. Women in leadership from all sectors of society, at varying levels, are it political, corporate, development, arts, sciences and beyond will converge to deliberate on how to best actualize transformative leadership in their respective contexts and for the greater benefit of the continent.

The Symposium, a first of its kind, will give opportunity to women leaders to deliberate how to leverage their leadership, power, influence and access for the development and progress of the African continent in general and the advancement of women and girls’ rights in particular. It will be a vibrant space for animated interactions and discussions on factors that support and those that hinder women’s access to power, influence and resources in society. It will also be an opportunity to reflect on how to best collaborate inter-sectorally so as to further the agenda of women and girls rights in Africa. It is expected that some of the outcomes of this meeting will be to get expressed commitment from participants to adopt Supporter journeys with deliberate actions, initiatives, projects, approaches, strategies that create space for women and advance women’s rights. It will also launch The One Million women initiative which will be an inter-sectoral collaboration by women leaders targeted at championing an initiative that touches at least 1 million women in Africa in the year 2016/17.
