who we are
The
African Women Leaders Network (AWLN) is a
vibrant network of accomplished
female leaders with outstanding trails in the
political, business, academia,
science, community and general leadership
arenas, as well as a pool of
accomplished, talented, innovative young leaders
and professionals, with
notable achievements, striving to reach their
leadership potential and be
impactful.
Mentoring
appears to be an effective strategy to develop
trust, mutually beneficial
relationships and a meaningful commitment between
rising and seasoned leaders. Building
on the outcomes of the first AWLN Intergenerational
Leadership Retreat hosted
in August 2019 in Nairobi, Kenya and the second
retreat held virtually in
December 2020, the AWLN Young women caucus propose
to develop an inclusive,
intergenerational, mutually beneficial mentorship
platform and program between
senior leaders and young women to equip and prepare
the generation of young
women to lead with purpose at national, regional,
and global spheres while
sharing their expertise with senior
women.
