The African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) has onboarded two former African heads of state Issoufou Mahamadou, former President of Niger and Hailemariam Desalegn, former Ethiopian Prime Minister, to the organization’s global board of trustees.
The former leaders will share their diverse and unique African leadership perspectives as AWF implements its ambitious 10-year strategy.
The two eminent leaders join the wide array of international experts and thought leaders on the AWF board, including other former African heads of state Festus Mogae of Botswana, the late Benjamin Mkapa of Tanzania, and the late Ketumile Masire of Botswana.
