Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
The Africa for Africa Women Organization in partnership with Legendary Gold Limited is organizing the Pan-African Women Empowerment Summit (PAWES) on the margins of Africa Celebrates 2023. The vision of Africa for Africa Women Organization is to Unite Women of Africa towards sustainable economic emancipation, which will result in poverty eradication through leadership development and economic empowerment of women across the African continent.

The Pan-African Women Empowerment Summit is an annual conference, which tables issues for discussion on all the areas mentioned above and the outcomes are developed into programs for implementation. The theme for the 2023 PAWES is “The significance of the 60th anniversary of the African Unity towards socio-economic inclusion of an ordinary African Woman”. The theme derives from the significance of the foundation of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) now known as the African Union (AU), which was founded on the 25th of May 1963 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

This year therefore marks the 60th anniversary of this union.
The overall mission of PAWES is to expedite execution of the AU Agenda 2063 and United Nations Agenda 2030, with women playing a central role; Forge partnership of women owned businesses to rebuild and strengthen the eco-system for Africa to thrive from grass roots level to multi-billion women own conglomerates; Support, encourage and cultivate the business growth by investing in women; Create an environment for African Women to trade freely across the Africa Continent and leverage the benefits of African Continent Free Trade Agreement (AFCFTA) and Intra Africa Trade Fair (IATF).
