We are thrilled and inspired that our very own Founder and Executive Director, Ambassador Dr. Nissi Ikenna-Amadi, was recently honoured by the British High Commission in Abuja for her tireless dedication to women’s economic empowerment across Africa.
This prestigious recognition highlights Dr. Ikenna-Amadi’s impactful work through the Supporting Women’s Economic Empowerment through Affirmative Procurement Program (SWEEAP). This initiative, implemented in partnership with the Do Take Action Initiative and Chevening Alumni Nigeria, is changing the landscape for women entrepreneurs.
H.E. Amb. Dr. Mrs. Ikenna-Amadi
FOUNDER AWMII
A Win for All African Women
Upon receiving the honor, Dr. Ikenna-Amadi dedicated the recognition to the women AWMII serves:
“This recognition is not just about my work or the work of AWMII; it reflects the resilience, strength, and determination of African women. Our mission remains clear, to continue creating pathways that enable women to thrive in leadership, entrepreneurship, and economic participation.”
Looking Forward
The award ceremony, attended by dignitaries from the British High Commission and our project partners, serves as a powerful testament to the importance of inclusive economic systems.
