1️⃣What happens when we stop talking about women as beneficiaries of water policy and start recognising them as experts, decision-makers and agents of change?
During the Living Library at the 16th GIMAC Young Women Advocacy Training, Virginia Muwanigwa, CEO of the Zimbabwe Gender Commission, challenged participants to look beyond infrastructure and ask harder questions about power, access, inclusion, accountability and who actually gets to shape water policy.
Her intervention left us with a powerful advocacy question:
When we say “gender-responsive WASH,” responsive to whom?
Follow the thread. 🧵👇

Water and sanitation is the AU Theme of 2026. At the 16th GIMAC Young Women Advocacy Training, participants linked the Africa Water Vision 2063 to the Maputo Protocol, AU CEVAWG, the GEWE Strategy and UNSCR 1325, because water justice is gender justice.

The tone is set for the 16th GIMAC Young Women Advocacy Training. 🌍💧
Opening the session, Melissa Kubvoruno, Chair of the GIMAC Young Women Network and RMT Board Vice Chair, encouraged participants to engage fully, connect, learn and enjoy the experience.
Antoinette MBROU, GIMAC Young Women Cluster Co-Lead and Coordinator at Women in Law & Development in Africa, reminded participants that leadership must translate into advocacy and action. Building on the online training series, she highlighted the importance of strengthening young women’s understanding of African Union frameworks while developing practical skills in policy analysis, advocacy, strategic communication, gender-responsive budgeting and accountability.
The message was clear: young women are not only leaders, they are advocates and agents of change.

Day 3 at the 5th Continental Dialogue on YPS &WPS. From auto workshops to agri tech, at CENFORE RUSI I saw firsthand how vocational training is being reimagined for Africa's future. Skills + innovation = the leap forward. Thank you 🙏@_AfricanUnion @ACCORD_online @GimacNetwork

"Africa has never lacked capable women leaders. What has often been missing is an ecosystem that intentionally prepares, mentors, accompanies, and supports women throughout their leadership journey."
In my opening statement at the launch of the African Academy for Women in Political Leadership, I underscored that the Academy represents a decisive shift from advocacy to action.
More than a training programme, the Academy is a continental platform to equip, mentor, and accompany Africa's next generation of women leaders, building the partnerships, sisterhood, and support systems needed to strengthen governance, advance peace, and accelerate sustainable development across the continent.

The workshop on #Sudan’s crises in #Africa has opened with powerful words from ~Mr. Abdelbagi Jibril. His remarks frame Sudan’s path as a dangerous trajectory, where citizens risk being stripped of protection, justice, and dignity. This is not abstract policy. It is about safeguarding lives, building on truth, and ensuring every citizen’s humanity is upheld. Sudan’s future depends on it. @AcdhrsOrg ~CEJA ~SKC @Fasngo @GimacYouth @REWIB_Africa @BinetaDOfficial @ACCORD_online @Amb_Mulamula @AU_WGYD @unwomenafrica @AWLNetwork @RehemaMalole @TheWIPCentre @FAWEAfrica @AUC_PAPS #WPS #Diginity

'These discussions are timely. Sudan’s crises span over 57 years. In the past, my office of Special Envoy WP&S convened women of Africa to ensure gender remained central to solutions ... through peace missions and mediation with various CSOs actors.' @BinetaDOfficial calls on this workhop to build on those efforts: strengthen the action plan and unify voices for peace, justice, and dignity in #Sudan.
