As leading operators in the informal economy as well as on boards of directors and managing companies which innovate, succeed and operate internationally. In technology, which doesn’t put up barriers based on gender and is so necessary for African development. In culture and the arts, as creators and preservers of all kinds of cultural displays. In ports, from loading to management. In politics, with several female presidents already written into the annals of history and with leaders and “advancers” who have been changing politics and history for centuries. In the processes of peace building and conflict resolution. In agriculture, health, education. Represented in the media and making communication happen. In sport.
