Introduction
As Akina Mama wa Afrika (AMwA) concludes its 2021–2025 Strategic Plan, the organisation embraces this moment to reflect, learn, and chart our path forward. Over the past four years, we have advanced our feminist agenda through Feminist and Transformational Leadership Development, Feminist Research and Knowledge
Building, Policy Influencing, and Movement Building, deepening impact, strengthening solidarities, and challenging oppressive systems across the African continent. In this spirit, we seek to develop an Impact and Learning Report that will consolidate our contribution to creating an equitable and just world for African Women and girls in their diversity, assess systemic shifts, and gather key learning that will shape the next decade of AMwA’s radical feminist and transformational work. The report will be informed by a desk review of existing documents, centring the lived experiences of those at the heart of our work.
