Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Liberia recently elected its first woman as a president. And the Rwandan Parliament is 49% female. So is the "Big Man" era of African politics ending? And have Africa’s democracies surpassed the U.S. and Europe in women’s representation? Join Kojo for a look at gender and political development in Africa.
Guests
- Yolonda C. Richardson President and Chief Executive Officer, Centre for Development and Population Activities
- Florence Butegwa West Africa Director, United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM)
