Global Africa Partnerships Forum – London 2024

THEME: Sustaining the African Renaissance: Collaboration, Innovation, and
Partnerships.

Introduction:
It is no secret that Africa is home to some of the richest nations on earth with an abundance of human and mineral resources yet bears the contradiction as one of the poorest continents on earth. Arguably, a critical missing link may be unequal global relationships and poor governance and institutional systems on the continent. However, in today’s globalized world, progress anywhere is progress everywhere – and if any system is as strong as its weakest link, the need for a global coalition of partnerships to make Africa work effectively because crucial, even as it is hugely beneficial for all parties.
The African Leadership Organization, publishers of African Leadership magazine, therefore, convenes its first-of-a-kind Global Africa Partnerships Forum – London 2023,
as a prestigious influential gathering of global African stakeholders, and meticulously created to function as a catalyst for vital partnerships, powerful alliances, and productive relationships that would impact the African corporate and political landscape. With the aim of igniting revolutionary ideas that spur economic growth, innovation, and sustainable development throughout the continent, this exclusive event aims to bring together visionary leaders, industry experts, investors, and decision-makers.

 

Holding with the theme “Sustaining the African Renaissance: Collaboration, Innovation, and Partnerships”, The Global Africa Partnerships Forum will drive through the aspirations of revitalizing economies, harnessing untapped potential, and shaping a future that enables jobs creation, Africa’s unique identity and its global significance.

Global Power Women Conference (GPWC) 2023

On the Side-lines of the 78th United Nations General Assembly, New York, September 2023

THEME: Advancing Resilience & Transformational Women Leadership for Sustainable High performance & Global Impact

Despite slow and uneven progress towards gender parity, data shows that women are still largely underrepresented at all levels of decision-making in public offices, business, and politics globally. For instance, among traditional brick-and-mortar companies, female CEOs represent just under 5% of the Fortune 500 list and only 6.3% for the current S&P 500 list. 
Likewise, as of January 2021, the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) and UN Women “Women in politics: 2021” map, showed that despite the growth in the number of women at the highest levels of political power such as women Heads of State or Government, the number of countries with no women in government has increased, advancement of women holding ministerial portfolios has slowed and only 25.5% of national-level parliamentarians are women. Thus, gender parity in leadership remains an unachieved and thus a long-term goal.
Event Information
This edition of the Global Power Women Conference, which is organized by the Centre for Economic and Leadership Development in collaboration with the Amazons Watch Magazine and the African Leadership Magazine UK, aims to convene top global women leaders and gender diversity champions and stakeholders to lead the discussions on how to address this dearth of women in decision-making positions across the globe by adopting a multi-pronged approach of advancing resilient and transformational women leaders for sustainable leadership and high performance.  
The relevance of this edition of the GPWC is hinged on the fact that no society nor institution can be said to be truly democratic or strong if women who constitute half of its population are not included as part of the top decision-makers across all levels. 
 Consequently, it is anticipated that insights generated from the GPWC can be utilized to shift the frontiers of knowledge on the Impact of resilience and transformational leadership in building exceptional women leaders – who will contribute significantly to the long desired global sustainable development, peace and prosperity across the world.
Key Highlights of the Conference
Panel Session 1: Being the female pioneer in a male-monopolized terrain: Lessons in Resilience and Strategy
Panel Session 2: Timeless Lessons from Global Companies at the leading edge of Gender Diversity

Presentation 1– Confidence: The Secret Sauce to Propel Women into Leadership Positions

    International Conference On African Political Leadership (ICAPL) – London 2023

    International Conference On African Political Leadership (ICAPL) – London 2023

    Roundtable On African Political Leadership – London 2023

    July 6, 2023 | London, United Kingdom

    Roundtable on African Political Leadership 2023

    THEME: Collaborative Political Leadership For Leapfroging Africa’s Development

    Rationale
    Following multiple African stakeholders meetings, such as the UK – Africa Investment Summit, the US-Africa Leaders’ Summit, the New Africa-France Summit, among others, much is left to be ironed out on moving the continent forward through collaboration and network building. The Africa Union Agenda 2063 captures seven broad themes that align with the global mandate for sustainable development. However, ten years into implementing this agenda, African nations still struggle to meet targets in infrastructure building, peace and security and institutional reforms. As countries continue to rebuild economic stability post-COVID 19, it is important to propose a more proactive strategy for African nations to meet global and local targets through preparedness and a people-entered approach.
    Historical representation of the African continent highlights the need for precision in action moving forward through well though collaborative action over the next decade that ensures stable institutions and progressive leadership. As African leaders continue to grapple with issues of trade, conflict, health and politics, a unified approach that highlights fostering bi/multi-lateral relations should be encouraged to promote efficient utilization of human and land resources, as well as accelerate Africa’s sustainability.
    Event Brief
    The Roundtable on African Political Leadership is therefore being put together by the African Leadership Organisation as a platform and unique opportunity to reflect on challenges experienced in the last decade and strategically position Africa to overcome its obstacles and contribute proactively through citizen and institutional support. The conference is an event that seeks to provide an opportunity for dialogue between African leaders, stakeholders, academia and policymakers, and civil society to align objectives and identify areas for collaboration, resolution and financing towards leapfrofing Africa’s socio-economic development.
    It is therefore a platform for African leaders to accommodate thought-provoking and technical deliberations to shape continental transformation, build sustainable networks that highlight the prioritization of people in multi-sectorial advancement through four main groupings, such as Business and Infrastructure, human capital, Environmental sustainability and capacity building.
      Sub Themes:
      • Expanding Emerging Markets for Trade and Technology Infrastructure Development
      • Innovative Health, Education and Gender Inclusion
      • Strategies for Sustainable Energy Mapping 
      • Deconstructing Power in Africa’s Leadership: Youth & Gender Mainstreaming
      • Sustaining Peace and Security in Africa
      • Legislative Best Practices for Growth and Development
        Target Audience
        • Political & Policy Leaders from across Africa;

        African Energy Leadership Forum & Awards 2023

        THEME: Towards Sustainable Energy Resource Mobilization in Africa

        Event Brief
        With the dynamic African energy industry faced with intense pressure to decarbonize and adopt renewable energy sources, the future of the oil and gas of the continent is under scrutiny. The sustainable energy future for Africa may not however be advanced by a single strategy due to Africa’s extreme diversity as the continent holds around 9% of the world’s total gas reserves, while 17 of its 55 countries are already gas producers. Moreover, nearly half of the continent’s 55 countries have proven natural gas deposits, including 17.55 trillion standard cubic meters of natural gas and 125.3 billion barrels of crude oil. According to S&P Global Platts, Africa is home to about 40% of the world’s recent gas discoveries. Despite the existing challenges to investment in the continent’s energy sector, the majority of the continent’s producers are currently fostering favourable investment environments for both domestic and foreign companies. This has resulted in the approval of several significant projects in nations like Angola, Equatorial Guinea, Mozambique and Nigeria among others, which industry analysts say will unlock the continent’s enormous energy resources.
        To accelerate industrialization, experts have opined that African nations must fully utilize their energy deposits throughout the energy transition, and strengthen their governance. In light of this, the African Leadership Magazine is thrilled to put together the African Energy Leadership Forum & Awards, Houston Texas 2023 on the sidelines of the Annual Offshore Technology Conference (OTC). The forum aims to bring together decision-makers, leaders from the public and private sectors, business titans, members of civil society, and all other stakeholders on a platform to discuss ways to address some of the major challenges in the African energy sector, as well as explore pathways towards achieving a sustainable energy resource mobilization in Africa.

         

        Key highlights of the forum
        • Strategic Investment meetings and networking sessions with senior US Government and Policy officials, Institutional Investment groupings, the US Business Community and key business leaders/investors
        • Keynote and Paper Presentations.
        • Energy CEOs Roundtable Session.
        • Public & Private Sector Stakeholders Roundtable Sessions.
        • Presentations to the Top 40 African Local Content & Community Development Leaders”
        Target Audience

        • Senior African Government ministers and Policymakers.
        • Leading US Congressmen at the forefront of promoting energy investments and other senior US senior policymakers
