“Women Deliver 2023 continues to be a transformative experience that has reinforced my commitment to championing gender equality and advancing the rights of women everywhere. The connections made, and the knowledge gained, have empowered me to take my advocacy to new heights. I am grateful for this exceptional opportunity and the chance to be part of a global movement striving for positive change.”
Our inaugural recipient, Florence Akara, attended the Women Deliver 2023 conference, one of the largest multi-sector gatherings focused on advancing gender equality. This year’s theme was "Spaces, Solidarity, and Solutions," reflecting a commitment to impactful collaboration and solution-driven dialogue.
Florence was able to explore feminism and funding from a global context, focusing on the barriers faced by African women leaders. She attended 20+ sessions, workshops and panels, gaining invaluable insights and unique perspectives on gender and the climate crisis, philanthropy for gender justice, youth empowerment and more.
