Africa's leading platform for youth and women in climate leadership, the Africa Women and Children Conference (AFRIWOCC), will return for its second edition on October 6-7, 2025, at the Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra, spotlighting youth-led climate action, women's leadership, and inclusive policy development across Africa.
Held under the theme "Young Voices, Innovative Ideas, Greater Impact for Africa," the 2025 conference seeks to build on the resounding success of its inaugural edition in 2023 and is expected to convene over 500 delegates from government institutions, civil society, climate organisations, academic institutions, development partners, and grassroots movements from across the African continent and the diaspora.
Launched in 2023 by the Samira Empowerment and Humanitarian Projects (SEHP), AFRIWOCC has swiftly evolved from a high-level policy forum into a year-round action platform, recognised for its people-centred, Africa-first approach to climate leadership.
The maiden edition, themed "Amplifying the Voices of Women and Children in Climate Action" brought together influential figures including: , Former President of Ghana; , former Second Lady of Ghana; Monica Geingos, First Lady of Namibia.
