This week marks our first episode on the 25th AU Summit, under the theme “Year of Women Empowerment and Development towards Africa’s Agenda 2063”. We speak to Dr. Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma Chairperson of the African Union on key outcomes of the summit: the transformation efforts underway to better enable women working in agriculture; emphasising the need to deliver on gender quotas across the board to move towards 50:50 parity; the launch of the African Union Foundation; and the plans for the African Union to become self-reliant. Additionally we address women in leadership, overcoming patriarchy, eradicating poverty through education and more.
