A rare lunch date with former Malawi President Joyce Banda offers a unique opportunity to engage with one of Africa’s most influential female leaders.
As Malawi’s first female president and Africa’s second, Banda’s tenure was marked by significant efforts to empower women and address pressing national issues.​
During her presidency, Banda emphasized the importance of women’s economic empowerment, stating that “it is only when a woman is economically empowered that she can negotiate at household level with her husband about the number of children that body of hers can have”.
She also highlighted the need for women’s inclusion in leadership roles across Africa, urging leaders to “let women be part of leadership” to foster inclusive development.
A notable moment in her international engagements was her meeting with U.S. President Barack Obama at the White House in 2013. This meeting underscored the strong bilateral relationship between Malawi and the United States, with discussions focusing on strengthening democratic institutions and promoting economic opportunities.
For those interested in a deeper understanding of Joyce Banda’s leadership and vision, attending a lunch date with her would provide invaluable insights into her experiences and perspectives on governance, women’s rights, and Africa’s development challenges.
