Making Africa Work for Africans (MAWA)

Supporting the leadership growth of 15,000 public sector leaders

About MAWA

Making Africa Work for Africans (#goodgovernancechallenge) is a leadership enhancement program designed to support public sector leaders in Africa to make optimal decisions that will transform Africa into the global powerhouse of the future as defined by the Africa Agenda 2063 (“an integrated, prosperous and peaceful continent, driven by its own citizens, representing a dynamic force in the international arena”) and aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Making Africa Work for Africans (“MAWA”) supports the optimal decision-making of 15,000 public sector leaders (heads of Ministries, Departments, and Agencies) through the creation of peer-learning experiences, executive coaching, multinational networking, and incentives for superior organizational performance.

The program is designed by BCA Leadership and organized in partnership with the PLO Lumumba Foundation (“PLO”). Making Africa Work for Africans is a generational program with a twenty-five-year duration. The program will start with a three-year pilot phase involving 500 leaders of MDAs, after which the program may be extended to its full scope of 15,000 leaders over 25 years. During the pilot phase, each leader will be supported with a package of leadership and governance-enhancement services costing USD 4,500 per year. The program is open to leaders of MDAs in all 54 African countries.

Assumptions in MAWA Design

1

A significant number of leaders of MDAs in Africa do desire positive outcomes for their institutions and communities.

2

African leaders are willing to learn from peers in similar positions in other countries.

3

African leaders are just as vulnerable to peer pressure as any other leaders; therefore, creating ‘tribes’ of peers helps African leaders to benchmark themselves against peers and strive for better performance.

4

African leaders are just as hungry for recognition as any other leaders; creating awards and recognition for good leadership performance will inspire African leaders to make optimal decisions.

5

Executive coaching, which has helped private sector leaders to make optimal decisions and achieve their organizational goals, will be similarly effective with public sector leaders.

6

African leaders are extremely busy with various demands on their time; any intervention must be extremely time-efficient.

Objectives of MAWA

The objective of Making Africa Work for Africans #goodgovernancechallenge:
The goal of Making Africa Work for Africans is to transform Africa into a middle-income continent by 2030 and a high-income continent by 2045, in line with the Africa Agenda 2063 and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

The project will start with a three-year pilot phase that will target/impact 500 leaders in Africa. The pilot phase was launched on 16 June 2021.

Features of MAWA

Program Launch

The program was launched with a one-hour inspirational virtual session, hosted by PLO, on the 16th of June 2021 that featured public sector leaders from all over Africa who will be invited to embark on this good governance challenge. Leaders will be given the opportunity to sign up / apply for this program online. Participation in this pilot phase will be limited to 500 leaders. Successful applicants will be notified of the cohorts (peer-learning small groups) that they have been assigned to and will be notified of their cohort meeting dates.

Facilitated Peer-Learning Small Group Meetings

Once every other month, the 500 leaders, in cohorts of around 40 public sector heads, will meet online to share lessons about leading their organizations, solving problems, challenging and inspiring each other to higher levels of performance. These two-hour meetings will be facilitated by BCA’s African leadership coaches. The cohort composition may be periodically reorganized/sorted to ensure that the MDA leaders engage with the most appropriate peer group based on their current position.

Coaching

Each public sector leader participating in the program will benefit from 6 individual executive coaching sessions per year. Provided by BCA’s African leadership coaches, these coaching sessions will help leaders to achieve their goals, make better decisions by becoming more aware of external and internal factors that influence decision-making processes, and have an accountability partner to support their growth.

Needs & Leads Sessions

BCA will organize and facilitate two online Needs & Leads sessions per year to connect the business needs of these African leaders to those who have the leads. Needs & Leads sessions are a speed-networking session designed to match leaders with one or more other leaders who have a solution (ie, lead) to their problem (ie, need) or knows someone who has a solution to their need. These sessions will connect leaders from all sectors and all parts of Africa, enabling the leaders to access the resources that they need quickly and efficiently.

Annual Leadership Retreat (Made in Africa Leadership Conference)

Once a year, BCA will organize and facilitate an Annual Leadership Conference for the leaders, giving them the opportunity to network with each other and continue to learn lessons from each other. Transportation, accommodation, registration and meals will be provided through this program.

Annual Public Sector Performance Awards

Once a year, awards for various categories of excellence in leadership performance will be given out to participants in the program. The awards will be accompanied by financial rewards given to the winners.

Better Decisions. Better Knowledge. Better Results.

Esther Lehmann-Sow
Senegal

Book Coach

My great passion is to come alongside talented and engaged women and men and create a growth-accelerating environment for themselves and their stakeholders.

 

I am an accredited Organizational Coach, ICF Associate Certified Coach and certified administrator of the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI). I have delivered extensive leadership coaching for both individuals, teams and groups in English and French. I am experienced in supporting organisations achieve their goals by providing advisory services and facilitating learning events (training, workshops, retreats…), both through face-to-face and online forums.

 

My work focuses on supporting leaders of international organisations in growing their talented women and men in a holistic manner. Many of my clients are working for mission-based, Pro-African organizations and operate in complex, high pressure environments. Staying productive and authentic in such settings while growing personally and professionally is a recuring challenge for my clients and one I am in a position to help them meet with confidence.

 

My career journey from junior contractor to global director in one of the world’s largest international humanitarian organisations (World Vision International), allows me to understand critical shifts that need to happen as employees move from individual contributor to manager, to leading other managers and, eventually, to leading through influence. Shifting perspectives, choosing what resources to draw from, seeing the wider system, dealing with organizational politics, thinking strategically while ensuring operational quality, dealing with different personalities, and producing results under pressure are complex demands with which I’m very familiar. I have supported my clients through challenges like these to successful outcomes.   

 

My background as a leader in Europe, Sub Sahara Africa and across continents qualifies me to help managers operating at strategic levels not to lose sight of operational realities. As managers become leaders, I encourage them to move from achieving results through direct management to achieving results through empowerment, delegation, influence and accountability. I understand the value of boards and partnerships, and work with leaders to identify ways that create, nurture, and leverage their collaborative relationships for mutual benefit.

 

Changing contexts, be they organizational, political, social or context-related require adaptability. I am experienced at coming alongside leaders to help them keep up with moving priorities and find appropriate responses during crisis situations. I train them to manage their and their team’s stress levels, to adapt to the new reality and to provide leadership that allows their team to emerge from the crisis stronger.

 

Having evolved as a female leader in a male dominated environment, I am committed to supporting organizations in promoting gender equity. Offering coaching as safe space and in a relationship of trust, puts women at ease to prepare for and adjust to the next level of their career. Frequently in coaching women in emerging demographics, we deal with self-imposed or learned gender-based limitations which can undermine confidence and compromise positive risk-taking. Gender equity means working with managers on deep systemic issues, to challenge biases and create a more inclusive work-place culture that fully values the potential of all members of the organization.

 

Throughout my career I have navigated the interplay of work and family life: raising three children, managing multiple moves, and adapting to new contexts. This personal experience offers a strong connection point with many clients who aim to expand their professional experience while honouring their commitments to their family. Exploring creative ways to rise to these challenges and finding new perspectives on the standards to which we hold ourselves accountable has produced transformative, empowering, and actionable insights for my clients.

 

I’m a German citizen who has lived and worked cross-culturally most of her life. I have a deep knowledge of West and Central Africa and have worked with colleagues and clients across all continents.

I understand the great potential diversity offers and the complexity it can create for individuals and organizations. I help people to increase their self-awareness, invite them to be curious and walk with them as they learn to navigate diversity with authenticity, insight, and skill. I also offer assessments of intercultural competencies to individuals and groups with a view to growing those competencies to support the realization of personal and organizational goals.

 

I enjoy coming alongside talented and motivated women and men who want to grow, as people and at work, to live an impactful life in this world.

 

If you’d like to know more about me, I invite you to visit my LinkedIn page and my website.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

Key Competencies
Executive Leadership: I have had opportunity to rally my direct reports around the company vision which inspired those I worked with to participate actively in the attainment of key goals, objectives, and the overall mission.

Organization Development: Both as an employee and now a consultant I have had the privilege of supporting organizations to improve capacity through the alignment of strategy, structure, people, rewards, metrics, and management processes. This I have done at different levels from setting up new processes, developing policies or the setting up and developing of new departments from scratch.

Operations Management: As the General Manager at The Nairobi Women’s Hospital/GVRC. I was involved in overseeing major renovations and launching of services at a new entity. This was a
daunting task because it called for not just having the right hardware and processes in place but also developing a culture that would endear the new entity to clients. The aim was to create the highest level of efficiency possible within the Hospital to not only achieve breakeven faster but to ensure profitability.

Human Resource Management: A highly experienced Human Resources professional, with a record of facilitating profitability through specialist development and running of human resource operations; hands on experience in building and developing top performing teams and setting up HR departments from scratch. Skilled at managing a full spectrum of HR programs, services and functions. Has a keen interest in employment laws, compliance, benefits in both unionized and non-unionized environments.

Coaching: As someone who has been in Human Resources space, I assumed I knew what coaching was and thought I practiced it over the years. However, going through the theory and practice of coaching has now truly equipped me to be a great coach. I now approach coaching from a nonprescriptive approach yet hold clients accountable for what they come up with and commit to do in line with their goals.
