Welcome to the African Women Development Bank Conference!
Join us on December 12, 2024, at the Shehu Musa Yaradua Event Center in Nigeria for a transformative event that aims to empower and uplift women across Africa. Our conference will bring together heads of governments, NGOs, and economic empowerment activists from all walks of life, united by a common goal: to enhance the quality of life for women and foster economic development.
Our Purpose
Our conference draws inspiration from the book "Women: The Last Chance for Africa," which has been published on Amazon KDP and features a foreword by Her Excellency Justina Mutale, African Woman of the Year and global speaker. This book highlights the urgent need for a radical and visionary approach to address the challenges faced by women in Africa, especially amid the changing dynamics of the global economy.
The Challenges Ahead
As the world economy undergoes profound transformations characterized by increased globalization, Africa faces significant threats. The risk of marginalization looms large if the continent fails to enhance its competitiveness and reduce poverty. Development institutions must reassess their roles and visions in this challenging landscape.
Africa requires a committed undertaking that prioritizes the welfare of its women, who make up over half the population. Current governmental approaches often fall short, marked by inefficiency, corruption, and neglect. This situation has led to a pressing need for initiatives that genuinely improve the lives of African women, who have suffered immensely due to developmental crises.
Our Vision
The establishment of the African Women Development Bank is a pivotal step toward addressing these challenges. Our bank aims to create a responsible international financial system that provides sustainable capital without the burden of excessive debt. We seek to attract direct foreign investment on fair terms, free from conditions that undermine our values and priorities.
By galvanizing support for women’s empowerment, we believe that we can foster economic growth and social progress across the continent. Together, we can build a future where women are not only participants in the economy but also leaders driving change.
Join us in this vital mission to uplift African women and reshape the future of our continent. Together, we can make a difference!
