WestlionCo, under the HERizon Africa Initiative, is set to host a landmark Pan-African Women’s Summit in Accra, Ghana, marking the celebration and grand climax of International Women’s Month from March 21–23, 2026.
Designed as an independent and impartial forum, the Summit aims to foster continental cooperation, data-driven dialogue, and cross-sector collaboration to advance women’s leadership and inclusive development across Africa.
SUMMIT’S THEME
Anchored on the bold theme, “African Women Redefining Global Influence” the 2026 Summit provides a timely examination of the expanding role of African women in shaping global narratives, while identifying actionable pathways to strengthen intra-African, cross-sector collaboration. The summit further seeks to institutionalize mentorship for the next generation of African female leaders through the network’s post summit Fellowship Programmes.
The Summit will convene 250+ multi-sector women and exceptional young ladies, policy makers, development partners as well as male allies from across the continent to exchange transformative ideas, forge strategic collaborations, and co-create solutions to women’s most pressing political, economic, social, and environmental challenges in Africa.
