The Young African Women Congress (YAWC) Network is a fraternity of young women of African descent living in Africa and the diaspora who seek to be empowered and be themselves, changemakers for leadership and development on the continent. Membership of the Network is segmented by Chapters based on country demarcations. However, there is a common goal which involves grassroots mobilisation of women for leadership and development through advocacy, training and projects. The Headquarters of the Network is in Accra- Ghana and there are currently eight operational Chapters on the continent namely, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Nigeria, Cameroon, Uganda, Ethiopia and Kenya. There are currently six chapters that will be inaugurated soon. They include two diaspora chapters in the United Kingdom and three other Scandinavian countries precisely Norway, Denmark and Sweden coming together to form a chapter. The other four are Rwanda, South Africa, the Gambia and Zambia.
