Introduction
Recently FAWE Africa, a network of 34 National Chapters, held her General Assembly in Nairobi at which eleven (11) FAWE Board of Directors were elected to run the affairs of the organisation for a three (3) year stint. According to the FAWE constitution, the General Assembly convenes every three years to assess progress towards achieving organizational goals. During these sessions, members also participate in the election of the Governing Board. The primary role of the Board is to provide overreaching policy guidelines to the FAWE Africa network on behalf of the General Assembly.
