Africa Women Conference in Ghana Empowers Women and Girls

The 10th Anniversary Edition of the Africa Women Conference (AWC) is taking place in Accra, Ghana, serving as a significant platform for dialogue and collaboration aimed at advancing African women and girls. The conference gathers women leaders, policymakers, and youth to develop practical solutions for empowerment.

AWC has established the Leadership Development Centre for Women and Girls, which focuses on training and mentorship for emerging female leaders. In partnership with DataCamp Donates USA, AWC provided 100 training licenses for women and girls across Africa, selected from over 3,500 applicants, covering areas such as artificial intelligence and data science.

Following performance assessments, 37 participants advanced to specialized certification tracks. Past editions of AWC have addressed issues like digital inclusion and financial access, leading to initiatives like the Women and Girls Digital Technology Hub.

The conference emphasizes the importance of generating actionable partnerships and influencing policy to support women's representation and participation in various sectors.
