Concept Note:

The status of African women stands as a pivotal concern for sustainable development across the continent.

The conference “Channeling Research for Resilience and Sustainability for African Women” provides a dynamic platform for researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and advocates converging and exchanging insights, experiences, and best practices. By leveraging research, this conference aims to identify strategies and solutions that enhance the resilience of African women and contribute to the sustainability of their communities.
