Meet the Founder and Promoter of Africa HR Forum

Mrs. Yolanda Asumu

The Interview

1. What motivated you to found Africa HR Forum?

After assessing Africa’s HR sector and landscape, in collaboration with the Government of Equatorial Guinea, it is our view that there is an urgent need for a forum which brings together key actors in the human resource sector and encourages proactive intellectual discourse on contemporary and practical issues related to human capital management for the provision of cutting-edge insights and results in the application of evidence-based and experiential solutions to problems associated with HR practice across Africa.

The Africa HR Forum platform was therefore created in 2020, as a Pan-African platform to unite all actors and stakeholders, decision-makers and key players in Africa’s HR sector, to encourage the sharing of unique and varied knowledge which is applicable in our personal and local contexts.

Since its inaugural session, the Africa HR Forum platform has grown in participation and in collaboration - we are in partnership with organizations in Nigeria, Senegal, Equatorial Guinea, Congo, Kenya, Morocco, South Africa and Zimbabwe and continue to grow our Pan-African reach into other target countries.

2. What is the objective and purpose of Africa HR Forum?

Our mission is to empower Africa’s workforce and we do this through the organization of recurrent knowledge-sharing, reflection, critical-thinking, proactive webinars and events. In this regard, we organize monthly webinars; the HR Author Series and the HR Insights Series and annual events, in collaboration with our network of Partners, including the ICUBEFARM Jobseeker Series, the Africa HR Forum Launch and the upcoming third edition of the Africa HR Forum that will hold from 24th and 25th October 2022.

3. Where do you see Africa HR Forum 2 years from now?

In order to truly impact Africa’s workforce, we need a Pan-African collaboration. We require the technical and financial contributions from like-minded persons, operating in both the public and private sectors, who are passionate about developing Africa’s workforce. Africa HR Forum continues to reach out to HR Associations, Employers’ Organizations, as well as capacity development educational Institutions/foundations, and various stakeholders in the HR and Labour & Employment sectors etc. for partnership.

Currently, we are receiving increased demand for the involvement of more key players operating in key sectors of the economy and in all regions and all countries on the continent for the organization of HR initiatives, and we are keen to involve all concerned parties.
Our vision is to make the Africa HR Forum completely available and accessible to the entire workforce on the continent.
