Engagements
What will it take to recenter women’s agency and political participation in Africa? The quest for answers to this question prompted a gathering of women political leaders, activists, and Civil Society players in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The gathering was organized on 11th February 2024, as a primer to the Pan African Leadership Sawubona focused on governance and women’s political participation.
