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.
The Forum is focused on curating an atmosphere that encourages deal-making and cooperation, utilizing participants’ many skills and resources to address important issues, seize opportunities, and define the future of African trade and industry.

    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
    Special Highlights

    THEME: Realigning Africa’s Trade & Investment Partnerships

    Event Brief
    As the wave of rivalries and strategic shifts between major economies and their allies have become intense, Africa now have a better opportunity to rack up a more beneficial diplomatic and economic cooperation and partnerships.

    Forum On Free Trade Zones Administration

    THEME: The Future of Free Trade Zones Administration and Operation.

    Rationale
    For economies seeking to foster their trade volumes, the strategic management of the Free Trade Zone (FTZ) can significantly impact the economy’s overall trade performance and boost economic development. Acting as a one-stop service for timely and accurate collection of FTZ operation and security information, FTZ Management improves competitiveness by enhancing operational efficiency. Stakeholders stay abreast of market demands and competition with precise communication and improved transit operation data submission.
    The Forum on Free Trade Zones Administration – Mauritius 2023 has a critical component that involves each participant’s reflection on personal and professional experiences and sharing these examples in class sessions. As such, the participants will have a better understanding of the approach to meeting the regulatory obligations of the day-to-day administration responsibilities, either being performed by internal or outsourced personnel—or a combination of both. The training content will teach participants industry best practices, share benchmarking knowledge and help create a first-class FTZ operation.
    Why Should You Attend?
    Today’s business environment is not easy and every day it is getting harder to find new customers while losing customers to competitors all around the world. Global thinking and looking for markets abroad need some qualifications to understand the trends and new competition. Free trade zones were developed especially in the second half of the 20th century and now have a very important role in international trade. To understand and compete globally, any company that does not want to lose even domestic market share and sales has to learn the effects of free trade zones
      Who Should Attend?
      As a result of this globalization, businesses have created a new concept to define the challenges and opportunities unique to the new highly globalized business environment.  It is with this in mind that only economic policies can assist enterprises in the country’s Free Trade Zones to achieve regular increases in production at lower costs that should be promoted.
