ARQ Women Leaders Network
The network of former candidates, winners and African women leaders
The competition lasts a few months. The network is what remains afterwards: a link between the women who have gone through ARQ, the partners who supported them and the projects they carry.
The network will be built from the 2027 edition onwards. The programmes below are announced, their calendar and their partners are not settled yet.
Five programmes
Each one extends one of the social commitments of the competition.
- 01
ARQ Women Empowerment
Training, mentoring and access to economic opportunities for the women of the network.
- 02
ARQ Girls Education
Schooling and literacy for young girls, in partnership with local organisations.
