What’s wrong with this picture: Most of the 40 panels at the African CEO Forum were dominated by men, with the exception of one: the women in business panel. The absence of women was palpable at last week’s African CEO Forum, in its eighth iteration, in Kigali, Rwanda.
The two-day forum at the Kigali Convention Centre hosted as many as 1 500 business leaders, shareholders, investors, as well as heads of state and ministers. An outsider attending the forum could have been forgiven for assuming that this meeting was a gathering of African men. Indeed, a colleague who attended was of the opinion that the delegates could fairly be described as a gathering of men with a just a “sprinkle” of women. This was more apparent during panel discussions, where topics such as banking, economic integration, digital transformation and healthcare were discussed by industry experts and leaders in different business spheres.Embargo - Default message
