Leadership is not about personal gain, but about fostering collective progress, compassion, and shared humanity.”

In her goodwill address at the Global Power Women Awards 2025, H.E. Macenje Mazoka spoke about leadership through the lens of Ubuntu — a model rooted in collective progress, compassion and shared humanity.

Her words offer a different way to think about power: not simply as what one person can achieve, but as what leadership can make possible for others.

INDEPENDENCE IS ALSO A STORY OF PEOPLE, INSTITUTIONS AND POSSIBILITY.

Cyprus marks its Independence Day on 1 October, providing an opportunity to reflect on the country’s journey and the people contributing to its continued development.

For CELD, the broader leadership lens is the contribution of women to the institutions, professions, communities and enterprises that shape a country’s future.
Women’s leadership belongs within national stories not as an aside, but as part of how societies develop and evolve.

Going global starts long before a business enters another market.

International expansion is often presented through the lens of opportunity: new customers, new markets and new revenue.

But expansion also tests what a business has already built.

Can the model travel? Can the processes scale? Can the business understand the market it is entering? Can its brand carry credibility beyond its existing audience?

These questions point to a broader leadership lesson: growth exposes the strength of the foundation beneath it.

For women building businesses with global ambitions, export readiness is therefore part of the leadership story, not simply a commercial milestone.

When can a business say it is ready to go beyond its home market?

Taking a business into new markets requires more than ambition.

It requires a foundation strong enough to travel.

This conversation looks at what businesses need to consider when preparing to operate beyond their existing market, from the model they have built at home to how they understand the market they want to enter.
Watch the clip for the full perspective on what export readiness requires.

LONGER LIVES SHOULD ALSO MEAN LONGER PARTICIPATION.

The 2026 International Day of Older Persons focuses on “The Age of Longevity: Rethinking Systems for Longer Lives.”

The UN/WHO framing places attention on systems that allow longer lives to also mean health, dignity and continued contribution.

For CELD, this opens a leadership conversation about what society does with the experience, knowledge and perspective of older people.

Older women in particular carry decades of professional, community and institutional experience that should not disappear from the spaces where knowledge is exchanged and decisions are shaped.

Ageing should not mean becoming invisible.

A nation’s story is also a story of the people who build it.

As Nigeria marks another year of independence, the national story can also be viewed through the women contributing to its institutions, businesses, communities, culture and future.

Women have long participated in building Nigeria as entrepreneurs, professionals, educators, innovators, public servants, creatives and community leaders.

Independence is therefore not only a historical milestone.

It is an ongoing story of contribution, responsibility and nation-building.

Today, we recognise the women helping shape what Nigeria becomes next.

BEING UNDERSTOOD IS PART OF PARTICIPATION.

International Translation Day 2026 focuses on “Linguistic Diversity and Language Rights,” highlighting translation, interpreting and terminology as essential to inclusion, equity and participation.

FIT describes the theme through the idea of “the power of being understood.”

Language shapes who can access information, education, justice, healthcare and public institutions.

For women, meaningful participation also depends on being able to communicate, understand and be understood within the spaces where decisions are made.

Translation is therefore more than moving words from one language to another. It can help make participation possible.

Regional opportunity requires regional coordination.

At the Global Policy Think Tank Round Table, Solange Amichia, MD of CEPICI, highlighted the need for stronger mechanisms that can move women-led investment towards more coordinated regional action. 

Her contribution speaks to a wider conversation about how institutions, investment pathways and regional networks can shape women’s participation in economic growth.
