Driving Change starts the new year with a new episode of our Made in Africa podcast series. Sarika Bansal speaks with Yawa Hansen-Quao about her work with Emerging Public Leaders and Leading Ladies Network.
Through this work, Hansen-Quao is helping build a new generation of public servants, particularly women, committed to social impact.
She talks about how her college experiences led her to this work. She is passionate about addressing the barriers women and young people face as they seek leadership opportunities in the public sector.
Have you missed the earlier Made in Africa episodes? These discussions with African visionaries whose work impacts the public good provide insights for all of us as we progress in our careers.
