Unicaf reinforced its commitment to advancing higher education and supporting Africa’s professional development through its participation in the FALAS Conference in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Bringing together young lawyers, legal professionals and key stakeholders from across Africa, the conference provided a platform for discussions on leadership, justice, digital inclusion and youth empowerment. Events and engagements took place at key venues, including the African Union (AU), the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) and the Azzeman Hotel.
A key highlight of Unicaf’s participation was a speaking engagement by Ms Winnie Rachael, Unicaf’s Country Manager, who delivered an address entitled “Human Capital & Social Impact: Expanding Education Access and Community-Driven Development.”
Her presentation explored the vital role of higher education in developing Africa’s human capital and driving sustainable community development. She highlighted Unicaf’s commitment to providing flexible, affordable and quality learning opportunities through its partner universities, emphasising how education can empower professionals, strengthen communities and contribute to the continent’s social and economic progress.
Beyond the speaking engagement, Ms Rachael also met with conference participants to discuss the existing partnership between Unicaf and FALAS. The discussions focused on the benefits available to FALAS members through the Unicaf Scholarship Programme, including preferential scholarship rates towards internationally recognised qualifications.
The engagement also highlighted the importance of continuous learning and professional development, particularly for legal professionals seeking to strengthen their expertise, advance their careers and broaden their opportunities.
Through its participation in the FALAS Conference, Unicaf further strengthened its visibility among Africa’s legal community while reaffirming its commitment to building meaningful institutional partnerships and empowering professionals across the continent.
By investing in people and creating opportunities for professional growth, Unicaf continues to contribute to the development of skilled individuals who can make a lasting difference in their communities and shape Africa’s future.
