The Leadership Accelerator Programme is an 8 weeks Programme for young African women desiring to reach leadership positions in their different organizations or career fields. It is a hybrid capacity-building program that responds to the women leadership gap on the African continent.
This certificate places young women who are in their early or mid-career to identify when there is a gender dimension at work and how they can out-strategize gender bias and their own habits to take up leadership positions and achieve better results.
