RATIONALE:
The paradox of the strength of the Africa woman as the home maker, keeper and provider yet consciously or unconsciously ignored in economic empowerment and state power sharing dynamics is to say but the least.
World over and Africa in particular, women have been known to organize and manage developmental projects for their sustenance. However, they have been faced with many challenges created by the environment and society.
It is therefore imperative to create an environment where women are trained and helped to improve and harness their inbuilt leadership potentials.
With the ever changing global trend, with more and more women in leadership and management, it is pertinent and time appropriate to have this conference aimed at enhancing and developing the Africa woman’s strength in leadership.
