The Board of Akina Mama wa Afrika (AMwA) announces that Eunice Musiime will step down as Executive Director, effective 30th May 2026, after 10 years of visionary, feminist, and transformative leadership.
Eunice has led AMwA with brilliance, courage, and unwavering feminist commitment. Under her leadership, AMwA has strengthened its role as a Pan-African feminist leadership development organisation, supporting women leaders through the African Women’s Leadership Institute (AWLI), advancing women’s political participation, SRHR, and championing economic and social justice across the continent.
The AMwA board has appointed Carmeliza Rosario and Sarah Nannyondo Okello, both nestled in the soul and rhythm of AMwA's work, as interim co-directors for nine months.
Transitions are part of the rhythm of feminist organising. Eunice’s departure is not an ending, but a continuation of the collective journey. Her leadership has left AMwA stronger, more resilient, and more deeply rooted in African feminist wisdom.
We invite our partners, allies and sisters across the continent and the diaspora to join us in celebrating Eunice Musiime’s extraordinary contribution.
