This year’s Women’s Leadership Forum will take place in Dar es Salaam on 21 October 2024, under the theme “Fostering transformative women’s leadership in Africa”. 

The event is organised as part of our Women’s Leadership Programme (WLP), dedicated to helping women advance into leadership roles. The WLP is implemented with support from the governments of Tanzania and Finland, the European Union, and UN Women. It runs over six months comprising a forum, a six-day intensive training, plus coaching and mentoring. 

Participants will include 100 women leaders selected to join cohorts 5 and 6 of the WLP, as well as leaders in government, business, academia and civil society from all parts of the continent.
