The 9th edition of the Africa Women Conference (AWC) 2025 will take place from 19th to 21st November 2025 in Accra, Ghana.
AWC Convener, Dr. Jumai Ahmadu, told journalists in Abuja that this year’s conference will be co-hosted by Dr. Hanna Louisa Bisiw-Kotei, an AWC member, and the Administrator of the Minerals Development Fund (MDF), Ghana, and National Women’s Organizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
She said the theme for this year’s conference is “Legacy Meets Innovation: Women Forming New Pathways for Africa’s Sustainable Development.”
The annual continental gathering of AWC, Dr. Ahmadu said, now in its ninth year, and jointly convened by the Helpline Social Support Initiative (Nigeria) and Save Humanity Africa International (USA), has established itself as a premier platform for dialogue, policy exchange, and partnership among women leaders, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and change-makers from across Africa and the diaspora.
Dr. Hanna Louisa Bisiw-Kotei’s appointment as co-host, she said, reflects AWC’s commitment to celebrating visionary African women whose leadership continues to redefine governance, community empowerment, and innovation across the continent.
“Dr. Bisiw-Kotei’s passion for inclusive development, gender equity, and youth empowerment resonates strongly with the AWC’s mission of amplifying women’s voices and strengthening their participation in leadership and decision-making.
“Furthermore, her involvement underscores Ghana’s growing influence as a hub for African women’s leadership and social transformation.
The 2025 Ghana AWC edition promises dynamic plenary sessions, exhibitions, and the Africa Women in Leadership Awards Gala, with special focus on innovation, economic empowerment, digital inclusion, and sustainable growth.
Delegates, she said, will include First Ladies, Ministers, Parliamentarians, CEOs, development partners, and grassroots women leaders from more than 25 countries.
