The gender gap in the technology industry continues to be a challenge, with Disrupt Africa revealing that only 17.3% of African tech startups have female co-founders and just 11.1% boast female CEOs. UNESCO reports that women in Sub-Saharan Africa are even less represented in STEM fields, comprising only 28%, compared to the global average of 30%. Lilac Africa is addressing this through its innovative program, aiming to raise a new generation of exceptional women into leadership roles within the tech sector. Lilac Africa focuses on building dynamic learning communities tailored to young, ambitious women’s diverse personalities and interests. This approach aligns with research from UN Women highlighting the positive impact of female-centric communities on personal and professional development.
