Akina Mama wa Afrika (AMwA) is an international, pan-African, non-governmental development organisation for African women that creates space for African women to organise and network. As part of its programmes, AMwA established the African Leadership Institute in 1996, a network for African women for professional support, advice, information and expertise. It also convenes an annual intensive leadership training programme to build working partnerships amongst young African women activists. Today, the institute has trained over 6,000 young African women.
