About us

Women in Sustainability Africa (WiSA) is rooted in collaboration.
We serve as a Pan-African coordinating organization working closely with Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), corporate institutions, and both local and international development partners. Our mission is to bring women and women-led groups together—especially those at the grassroots—toward the collective advancement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) across Africa.

We champion the development of bold perspectives and catalytic ideas that can accelerate progress toward the SDGs, including closing the gaps in gender inequality.

At WiSA, we believe that women are uniquely positioned to drive sustainable development and to help ensure that we leave the world better than we found it.

We also recognize that true progress requires collaborative action between women and men. We redefine inclusion to mean working hand in hand with our male allies. We partner with individuals, institutions, and He-for-She champions to fast-track the achievement of the SDGs and bridge inequality gaps. We encourage men to stand in solidarity with women—because together we rise, and divided we fall.
