On Tuesday, 50/50 Women on Boards (WOB), a global nonprofit advocating for gender balance and diversity on corporate boards, officially unveiled its inaugural African Chapter in Nairobi. The launch significantly expanded the organisation’s mission to promote gender equality in corporate governance and leadership across the continent. “The launch of the Nairobi Chapter is an important step toward advancing the agenda for African women in corporate leadership,” Mugyenyi said. “Boards that lack diversity are prone to groupthink, limiting their strategic perspectives and ability to tackle complex challenges,” Tadesse said. “The launch of 50/50 Women on Boards’ Nairobi Chapter will create pathways for African women to assume leadership roles, driving meaningful change in corporate governance.”Follow us on Telegram, Twitter, and Facebook, or subscribe to our weekly newsletter to ensure you don’t miss out on any future updates.
