Q. Tell us about the beginning of WAWA and what are the core factors which actually gave birth to WAWA?
Thank you very much. First of all I would like to introduce myself, I am the Chair Person for The West Africa Woman Association which is in French known as Association des Femmes de l’Afrique de l’Ouest. This Association covers 16 countries concerning the life of woman, their problems, the priorities which must be addressed for their development. So, we must understand that in 2005 when we had started we had not only created this organization but also had given it an exceptional definition of a regional NGO working for the woman, their development and empowerment. And, it is in July 2005 that we had created this association in Dakar in presence of the higher authorities of the country including the Head of State.
Q. What are the aims and targets of WAWA?
The vision of the WAWA is to have the institution where woman are considered as the development actors and who act to change the thinking and life of the society. They must be recognized as they can do many things but they should have a real place in the society and our vision is to achieve this.
If I talk about our mission, it is to work in an operation, indigenous and exogenous manner as our mission inside and outside Africa in order to execute this vision and mission which allow us to feel proud on the creation of this organization. We have created it to change the things which are working and not working till date.
Q. Which are the areas of African woman’s life that WAWA aims to develop?
