Central Bank of Seychelles governor Caroline Abel is one of the recipients of the Africa’s Woman Leaders Awards.

This was announced during a virtual ceremony, as part of the Africa Leadership Awards, held on Tuesday December 8, 2020.

The Africa’s Woman Leaders Awards is an initiative of the World Women Leadership Congress and Awards as part of its engagement to celebrate and recognise women leaders across different regions globally.

When accepting the recognition, Governor Abel said it comes at a time when the well-known statement ‒ the true test of leadership is observed during a crisis ‒ has never been more accurate, due to the unprecedented Covid-19 pandemic.

“It is not always easy, but having the support of a capable and dedicated team has provided the impetus and strength needed to keep on navigating through the ups and downs. May I take this opportunity to call on other women working alongside me and in other sectors, particularly the younger ones, to continue working hard, to believe in themselves and to grab every given opportunity. A firm believer of inclusivity and empowerment, especially of women, I am confident that women in Seychelles and across Africa are capable of reaching great heights in their respective careers despite their many responsibilities and should seize moments of adversity, such as the current pandemic, to push themselves towards achieving their full potential,” said Ms Abel.

It is the second time that the Africa’s Women Leaders Awards has been presented during the Africa Leadership Awards organised by CMO Asia.
