Their objective : pave the way for an inclusive and progress-oriented African private sector, with this year’s focus on women in innovation.
In the heart of Africa’s dynamic landscape, a powerful force of change is surging forward, led by remarkable female champions. In the fields of business, health, climate, sport, and beyond, these pioneering women have broken the glass ceiling and transformed their respective industries.
During this third edition of the Gender Champions Meeting, we will delve into the impact these women leaders have made in their respective sectors. Their strategic approaches have led to advancements, challenging the norms and creating a more inclusive and progressive society.
By sharing their experiences, we hope to spark new ideas, collaborations, and initiatives that will further uplift women and drive positive change in Africa. The event will also serve as a platform to shed light on the challenges these female champions face as they lead their industries towards greater prosperity. Through candid discussions, we will address the hurdles and barriers that persist in the blooming sectors they represent.
Let us seize this moment to celebrate their achievements, learn from their experiences, and unite in our commitment to championing gender equality and inclusivity across the continent. Together, we will continue to break barriers and pave the way for a more equitable and progressive Africa.
