As we celebrate International Women’s Month, we are delighted to honor Victoria Kwakwa, a distinguished female leader, an icon in the development sector, and Regional Vice President for Eastern and Southern Africa Region, as she prepares to bow out of the Bank.

This fireside chat, co-hosted by the WBG/IMF Africa Society and the Nigerian Professionals Network, presents a unique opportunity to celebrate her remarkable leadership, which has been a beacon of inspiration for African professionals worldwide. As she bids farewell to the Bank on March 31, 2025, we will reflect on her impactful journey, honor her exceptional contributions, and gain valuable insights from her extensive experience in advancing development across Africa and globally.
