Nigeria\u2019s President-Elect Muhammadu Buhari is set to be sworn into office for a second term following his victory against his archrival and former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, in the one closely contested Presidential election that attracted seventy-three candidates.<\/p>\n

In this discussion Program, Desmond Davis engages Dr Wale Ismail, a Senior Research Fellow at the African Leadership Centre, and Adewale Ajadi, an author, consultant, and leadership expert from Nigeria. The panellists discuss the dynamics and complexities of the just-concluded Presidential elections in the most populous country in Africa and how the process faired amidst ethnic and religious polarization and external influences.
Desmond Davis asks the experts what Nigeria\u2019s electoral experience means for the country and Africa\u2019s democratic process in general.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Globally and not least on the African continent, women continue to face numerous obstacles from continued marginalization and discrimination in the workplace, absence from leadership and decision making and lagging behind in terms of economic and other social indicators. This notwithstanding, the African women\u2019s movement has been and continues to be a formidable force in the story of the continent\u2019s transformation. Women\u2019s rights and feminist activists have made momentous contributions to the development of the continent with respect to gender equality in the public policy arena, governance, education, peace, and security at local, national, regional, and continental levels. They have also been at the forefront of bringing to light gendered violence and harm to the bodily integrity of women. Many of these efforts, narratives, and experiences, however, remain undocumented, yet their transformative activism and leadership could otherwise serve as evidence-based case studies in advancing women\u2019s rights, freedom, and growth in Africa.<\/p>\n

The main objective of this project, therefore, is to provide a platform for Leading feminists from across the African continent to reflect on and share their leadership journey or involvement in the process of change or response to a situation that led to change within the African women\u2019s rights and feminist activist space. These individual narrations will offer a perspective on a situation and experience that will likely have included the participation of many others. Given the evident absence of systematic documentation of these narratives, the intention of this project is to highlight and document the journeys of African women who have been at the forefront of significant change on our continent that has yet to be narrated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6244,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","category_audio":[350],"season_audio":[],"tag_audio":[349,353,38],"class_list":["post-6239","ova_audio","type-ova_audio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category_audio-discussion-programme","tag_audio-discussion-programme","tag_audio-elections","tag_audio-leadership"],"yoast_head":"\nLeadership Emergence and Electoral processes in Africa a focus on Nigeria 2019 Election - ALC Pan-African Radio<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/alcafricanradio.com\/index.php\/audio\/discussion-programme-leadergence-emergence-electoral-processes-in-africa\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Leadership Emergence and Electoral processes in Africa a focus on Nigeria 2019 Election - ALC Pan-African Radio\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Globally and not least on the African continent, women continue to face numerous obstacles from continued marginalization and discrimination in the workplace, absence from leadership and decision making and lagging behind in terms of economic and other social indicators.
