African Women: Economic Futures Convening Report

AWDF convened the African Women: Economic Futures (AWEF) at the Best Western Hotel in Accra, Ghana from September 13 to 15, 2018 as part of a movement building effort for conversation and activism on African women’s economic transformation. Spearheaded by the African Women’s Development Fund (AWDF), the interdisciplinary event explored future trends, challenges and opportunities for women in African economies. The Convening also invited a rethink of economics, policymaking and geopolitical dynamics in Africa by exploring three key themes in relation to African women’s economic futures: mapping the trends, praxis makes perfect, and the story of labour. We employed a future-focused approach based on AWDF’s fourth strategic plan Shaping the Future to consider how African women are actualizing their own economic futures. As an outcome of the event, a manifesto was developed by participants, stating their commitment to improving African women’s economic futures and providing recommendations on a sustainable way forward.
