The programme seeks to expand mentorship, leadership opportunities and professional networks for women across Africa.

As part of the initiative, emerging female professionals will be connected with senior leaders through mentorship salons, leadership masterclasses, networking sessions and an annual Women’s Impact Summit.

Speaking at the launch, Hon. Sowah reaffirmed the importance of empowering women to take up leadership roles and contribute meaningfully to national and continental development.

The initiative is expected to create a platform that supports the growth and advancement of women across various professional fields while strengthening collaboration among female leaders on the continent.
