Rabat — Women’s leadership in Africa represents a strategic advantage that could transform the continent’s economic future, according to Lamia Bazir, who moderated a panel on female leadership at the 17th MEDays Forum in Tangier this week.
“Women bring a leadership style that is very particular and that is collaborative, long-term, disruptive, and anchored in social cohesions,” she said in an interview with Morocco World News (MWN). These qualities matter in a world defined by complexity, uncertainty, and global interdependence.
The evidence supports her position. When women participate fully in economic and political life, companies become more profitable, public policies become more inclusive, communities become more resilient, and economies grow faster, Bazir noted.
