Under the WYDE Women’s Leadership Program, EWEF brought together 100 emerging young women leaders, experienced women leaders and development partners for a Leadership and Networking Forum in Konongo on 2nd October, 2026.
The forum created an intergenerational space for learning, mentorship, networking and honest conversations about women’s leadership.
Participants had the opportunity to hear directly from accomplished women leaders, including a Municipal Director of Education and an Assembly Member. They shared their leadership journeys, the barriers they have encountered, the lessons they have learned, and practical advice for young women aspiring to leadership.
The forum also welcomed Adina Wolf from UN Women, whose participation reinforced the importance of investing in young women and creating pathways for their meaningful participation in leadership and decision-making.
Beyond inspiration, the forum was about building connections that matter; connecting young women with role models, mentors, peers and opportunities that can strengthen their leadership journeys.
Because when young women are supported to find their voices, build their confidence and access the right networks, they are better positioned to lead, influence decisions and create change in their communities.
EWEF remains committed to nurturing a new generation of informed, confident and connected young women leaders.
Building connections. Strengthening voices. Young women leading change.
The activity was implemented by EWEF under the WYDE Women’s Leadership Programme, as a grantee of UN Women, with funding from the European Union.
