The She is a Leader project aims to support and encourage the active participation of young women in grassroots politics in Africa. Recognizing the high barriers women face in becoming leaders, including social, cultural, and gender-related obstacles, this project seeks to address these challenges. By providing targeted leadership development training for young women during their secondary and university years and older women working in the informal, public and private sectors, we aim to empower them with the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to engage in politics and advocate for gender equality. Through this project, we strive to create a more inclusive and equitable society where women have equal opportunities to become leaders and shape their communities.
