Her appointment to the G100 Presidential Advisory Council is expected to provide Malawi with a stronger voice in global conversations on inclusive leadership, governance and women’s empowerment while creating opportunities for greater international collaboration.
The G100 is an influential global network of women leaders representing more than 100 countries. The organisation works to promote leadership, innovation, entrepreneurship and gender equality by connecting accomplished women across diverse sectors to develop solutions to global challenges.
