AWDF’S 4TH CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICERS’ FORUM, NAIROBI, KENYA (2015)
[tp lang=”en” not_in=”fr”]The Chief Executive Officers’ (CEO) Forum, is a biennial event convened by the African Women’s Development Fund (AWDF) aimed at strengthening the organizational capacity of the various women’s organisations we support. The 4th installment took place from the 25th – 27th of March, 2015, in Nairobi, Kenya.
The forum brought together managers, board members and young professionals in senior roles within the organizations (dubbed “the next generation leaders”) from 10 women’s organisations supported by AWDF. By bringing these three groups together for the first time, participants were able to get a more comprehensive look at governance and administration – the two building blocks of a healthy organization. The women took part in an expanded coaching and mentorship project on Leadership and Governance aimed at strengthening the capacity and governance frameworks of their organisations.

“Reclaiming Our Spaces” – An Executive Summary of the 1st African Feminist Forum
“Reclaiming Our Spaces” – An Executive Summary of the 1st African Feminist Forum
[tp lang=”en” not_in=”fr”]“This is not a forum for Feminists ‘if’, Feminists ‘but’, or Feminists ‘however’. This is a forum for FEMINISTS ‘full stop’.”
– Bisi Adeleye-Fayemi, opening ceremony of The African Feminist Forum, November 2006, Accra, Ghana.
The journey that led to the creation of the space in which African feminists can engage in the process of internal reflection, reconnection with one another and with the movement; a space free of the ‘ifs’, ‘ands’, ‘buts’ that have for so long fractured the agency of the women’s movement and diverted its energies, has been a long and sometimes arduous one. The creation of this space (the first ever of its kind in Africa) is in many ways, testament to how far the movement has come in Africa, but also a stark reminder of what it is up against.

– Bisi Adeleye-Fayemi, cérémonie d’ouverture du Forum africain féministe, Novembre 2006, Accra, Ghana.
Le voyage qui a conduit à la création d’un espace dans lequel les féministes africaines peuvent s’engager dans un processus de réflexion interne, la reconnexion avec l’autre et avec le mouvement; un espace libre de les ‘si’, “et”, “mais” qui ont si longtemps fracturé l’agence du mouvement des femmes et détourné ses énergies, a été long et parfois ardu. La création de cet espace (le premier de son genre en Afrique) à bien des égards, témoigne à quel point le mouvement est venu de loin jusqu’en Afrique, mais aussi un rappel brutal de ce contre quoi il se lève.
