Women In Africa
10 July 2013 7:30 (WAT)
The trajectory of women across Africa has been on the rise, with women enjoying greater equality in all parts of life and consequently more women empowered in their own lives at home and in the work place. Much work still remains however, particularly in the work place where disparities between men and women remain evidenced by under-representation by women on boards, at various management levels and in political office.
In 2013 /2014, WIA will be closely focused on how women can consolidate the gains already made in the careers (and beyond) and how to pave the way for greater empowerment and representation for women in the work place. As part of this, topics to be discussed will include:
- Mentoring
- Leadership and Governance
- Participation, representation and accountability
- Sustainable Social and Economic Growth
- Private sector
The women in Africa forum is a unique opportunity to reach a broad Africa wide audience of government officials and leading businesswomen who make a significant contribution to economic prosperity in generally marginalized sectors. Access to the audience is guaranteed to increase contact base and network throughout Africa.
Share in our vision to:
- Raise awareness
- Monitor and evaluate advances
- Influence
- Build alliances and partnerships
- Provide resources, tools and insights
- Grow and inspire the next generation of women
Structure
The forum aims to bring speakers and professors from organisations within Africa and around the world. Participation from foundations, non-profit organisations, governments, women leaders, dignitaries, women board members, large corporations and national, regional and international media.
The 2- day event will have presentations, case studies, panel discussions, workshops, career and recruitment fair, one to one meetings, networking lounges, cyber café, cocktail reception and a gala dinner with an award ceremony and entertainment.
This forum will aim to attract women from across the region, continent and around the world from all sectors and backgrounds. More than 300 Women from across Africa will be attending this Forum.
Trade Expo
The Trade and Art Expo is a good opportunity for various organizations and companies to promote their brand and products and to capture the wide audience that the conference will encapsulate.
Award ceremony
Several “Best in category” awards will be presented during the gala dinner. These awards will be pre-determined by a specially selected jury. Participants will be shortlisted for each award. Winners will be announced by selected VIP guests of the ceremony. The gala dinner will take place at ¨Terra Kulture´¨
Careers and Recruitment Fair
Working alongside Universities, Business schools and Government officials WIA assists in transmitting greater need to further advance and recruit more women around the continent into multi- national and International corporations. We aim to highlight the opportunities that are finally becoming more available to women across Sub-Saharan Africa. The career fair will allow companies to recruit and showcase.
