Myriam Ciza Gambini, Project Manager – Accelerating Inclusive Power Shift, will be joining a panel under the title ‘Powershift in the agenda  for a Just World’ as part of the YMCA Accelerator Summit, taking place 21-25 October.

The conventional power hierarchy has run its course. Belief in the systems of leadership and power is changing; it’s too slow, too centralised, too disempowering – those who are leaders and those who are not. The way people organise is changing the power hierarchy, demanding more in the pursuit of a Just World. Where leadership is lacking, ordinary citizens are stepping up and in. It’s impacting political systems, consumer choice, and the ways in which communities organise. What impact does this have on social impact leaders? What opportunities does it present?

Fellow panellists will be a representative of Haki Africa, a pan-African human rights organization based in Mombasa and Sunita Suna, from the Asia Pacific Alliance of YMCAs who leads its Gender Equity Work across the region. The panel will be moderated by Lloyd Wamai, Programme Management and Innovation Executive, Africa Alliance of YMCAs.
