Hyvonne Aki-Sawyerr attends the Leadership forum in Cape Town South Africa

Continuous professional development is necessary in all fields of work and I am grateful to have had the opportunity to attend the AMALI City Leadership Forum in Cape Town, South Africa from 29th January to 1st February 2024. Hosted by the African Centre for Cities in partnership with Big Win Philanthropy and Bloomberg Philanthropies, this year’s forum was attended by 15 Mayors and Governors including the Mayors of Dakar, Accra and Windhoek and the Governor of Nairobi. The Forum provided an ideal and timely opportunity for me to look back on the #TransformFreetown agenda and to think deeply about how to most effectively, with the greatest positive impact, continue the journey of service to Freetonians. I am really excited about what we can achieve together in my second term and look forward to extensive engagement and consultation with Freetonians as we finalize our city development plan which will in turn complement the national development plan.
