The number of women entering the competition has increased every year since inception of the WIA54 Program. 2021 saw the number of applications received increased to 4,000 African women entrepreneurs. The applicants came from a wide spectrum on sectors that include agro-food, creative industries, education, digital & technologies, sustainable development, health and fintech amongst many others.

Ultimately the hope is for WIA54 finalists, such as Botswana’s very own Dimakatso Leteane of DLM Training & Development Institute or Neo Jalal of Thebe Capital, may ultimately be declared as Country Laureates of which 9 will receive Sector Prizes as Luminaries embodying the very best of the African continent. Coincidentally, one of the 5 beneficiaries of the 2021 Young Leaders program from WIA is Ms Néné Maïga who is the newly appointed CEO of Orange in Botswana. The coincidence of the occasion serves as an opportunity to inspire finalists in the country and the region to see the calibre of women that WIA54 programme develops and celebrates.
