[African Union ECOSOCC @AU_ECOSOCC]

Today we honor the words of Mr. Strive Masiyiwa, a Zimbabwean born visionary entrepreneur and philanthropist whose voice continues to inspire Africa’s transformation.

His words carry forward the vision of Agenda 2063, where gender equality is achieved and women stand at the center of Africa’s development efforts.

By empowering women with his words, he states that when women rise, communities thrive, and nations prosper.

This conviction is echoed in ECOSOCC’s commitment to strengthening women’s participation in shaping African Union policies and programmes.

Learn more about how women‑focused and women‑led Civil Society Organizations can amplify women’s voices in ECOSOCC’s 5th Permanent General Assembly.

The coast has some competition.

Three hidden gems in Homa Bay you need on your bucket list: Mfangano, Takawiri & Rusinga.

Think palm trees, white sands, luxe resorts & a Water Bus ride on Lake Victoria. This is the afternoon escape you deserve.

Would you travel here?
