The Matriarch Economy is an initiative, a permanent, structured movement launched under the African Women Impact Council to mobilize women’s leadership, collective power, and institutional collaboration toward measurable, lasting impact across Nigeria and Africa.
The summit on 28 August 2026 in Abuja is the launch moment. The room where the decision is made.
The declaration that this work has begun and will not stop.
What happens beyond that evening is the real work.
AWIC’s mandate is to identify, develop, connect and scale high-impact solutions created by African women through strategic partnerships, capital and institutional support.
Across Africa, accomplished women are building companies, leading institutions and driving meaningful initiatives , yet their work is under-documented, inconsistently presented, strategically under-positioned and Profiles are outdated.
Event Participation is intentionally limited to preserve depth, institutional standard and strategic value
Council Membership is extended to distinguished African women aligned with AWIC’s standards of
leadership, integrity , ambition and cross-sector influence.
African Women Impact Council (AWIC) A strategic leadership platform advancing African women across governance, enterprise and capital.
