The African Women Leaders Forum
AWLF is a movement that advances young women's political participation and leadership in Sub-Saharan Africa. AWLF works to harness and catalyse efforts by young women, youth, women and other civil society collectives towards the advancement of the influence, participation and visibility of young women in democratic processes such as politics and other spheres of decision making in Africa. The programme was initiated in December 2018 through consultations with young women activists, young women’s organisations and politicians in Africa who saw the need for the increased participation of young women in decision making processes across the region.
