Following the success of the inaugural edition, which was held at the Shangri La Hotel, Dubai – United Arab Emirates, from June 19 – 25, 2022, the African Leadership Organisation is thrilled to put together the second edition of the on Public Sector Accounting Standards & Budgeting Forum  as another exceptional opportunity for exchange of ideas, discussions of critical issues, building connections and gaining insights from the unique experiences and expertise of financial and accounting professionals in the public sector.

This training course will be structured as a highly participative workshop; classroom sessions with formal presentations by a highly competent trainer; case studies, interactive worked examples, and relevant case studies will be provided to illustrate and apply each of the topics covered.
Who Should Attend?
This course would be relevant to all persons involved in the preparation, presentation, and interpretation of corporate financial statements from both the private and public sectors where compliance with the IASB and IFRS framework is required. The course will greatly benefit:

    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;
        • National and Regional Legislators & Lawmakers;
        • Political Party Leaders;
        • Community leaders, civil society and leaders of thought;
        • Academics and students of African political history; and
        • All African stakeholders

        Global Power Women Conference & Award

        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 represents 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 info

        This edition of the Global Power Women Conference, which is organised by the Amazons Watch Magazine in collaboration with the Centre for Economic and Leadership Development 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.
