I think, Africa has already powerful rising women, and so many young women are in the pipeline on there way to being powerful. Most NGO'S are doing a good job saying and actually Empowering African women. However, I think after empowering them, this empowered women need to be assisted to get into the positions or given resources that will continue to build them so that they can effectively reach to the top. To be empowered and without nothing to do is ineffective and a quick way for the empowered ones to loose their mojo.
