There are several activities in which African women leaders are becoming more visible. Some of these areas Include working with conflict-resolution and prevention, entrepreneurship, grassroots mobilization, international development through United Nations work, participating in politics and governance and working in fields of science and technology. However, despite significant gains made in each of these sectors, much more needs to be done until both men and women have the same opportunities to contribute regardless of their race or gender. The main objectives of the paper is to present the regional situation of African women in leadership positions in selected sectors and, against this background, to analyze the social and working environments they face and the pathways they followed to positions which Influence policy and decision-making in their respective fields of operation.
