The Former Presidents Wives Coalition of Africa is a strategic, diplomatic initiative formed to address the systemic challenges and neglect faced by Former President Wives after their husbands leave office. Despite playing significant roles in advancing national development through humanitarian, social, and political efforts, these women often find themselves without institutional support, financial security, or the recognition they deserve. Our Coalition is committed to reversing this trend by providing a platform that honors their legacies and empowers them to continue contributing to societal peace and development.
At the heart of our mission is the belief that these women’s voices and experiences are valuable assets for Africa’s continued growth. We advocate for their protection, dignity, and welfare through legal frameworks and institutional support. In doing so, we also foster peace and reconciliation across the continent, encouraging collaboration between past and present leaders to prevent political retaliation and foster unity.
By preserving the legacies of Africa’s former President wives through initiatives such as Presidential Legacy Museums, mentorship programs for young women, and charitable projects, we ensure their impact continues to inspire future generations. The Coalition brings together a network of former President wives, creating a strong community of support, solidarity, and shared vision for the future of Africa.
We invite governments, international organizations, and partners across the world to join us in celebrating the vital contributions of these women, safeguarding their rights, and ensuring they remain a driving force for positive change in Africa.
To create a world where former Presidents’ wives of African nations are honored for their contributions, safeguarded against neglect, and equipped with the resources to leave lasting legacies that inspire future generations. The Coalition envisions itself as a catalyst for change, fostering unity and progressive governance in Africa through the collective voice of these influential women.
To advocate for the protection, empowerment, and recognition of former African presidents by ensuring their contributions to their nations are acknowledged, their rights are upheld, and their needs are met through legal frameworks, financial security, and cultural institutions. The Coalition also aims to promote a culture of peace by acting as mediators and advisors to current and future presidents to prevent governance mistakes and the perpetuation of political vengeance.
The goal of the Former Presidents Wives Coalition of Africa is to empower former President wives by ensuring their contributions are celebrated, their rights are protected, and their legacies are preserved.
