For our latest Intergenerational Leadership Dialogue\, we are exploring the impact of gender equity for Women in Sports. \nNurturing talent and  skill in the sporting sector in South Africa is multifaceted. Success for the sporting sector as a whole requires garnering investment from the private sector on one hand\, as well as supporting government interventions to facilitate transformation and broader social equity\, both on and off the field. Through sponsorships and investments\, the private sector has demonstrated an interest in supporting young talent\, nurturing these individuals into formidable national sportspersons. \nThis dialogue is intended to unpack and explore the private sector’s role and support of women’s sports in South Africa\, particularly how this impacts young female talent\, as well as interrogating gaps and opportunities for greater equity across local sports. Through engagements with a panel of experts across government\, private sector and academia\, some of the guiding questions for this discussion include: \n\nHow has the private sector contributed towards transformation in the South African sports sector?\nWhat successful collaborations within the private sector have been accessed or harnessed to ensure support of sportswomen at a Tertiary level?\nWhat policies has Government enacted towards ensuring sports women are paid equally to men?\nHow are key stakeholders dismantling the pay inequalities faced by women in the sports industry?\n\nIntergenerational Dialogue Series \nThe National Business Initiative (NBI) has developed the Intergenerational Leadership Dialogues as a platform to critically explore how workplaces engage generational differences as an important aspect of transformation and equity. These discussions are intended to elevate the voices of young people at work\, facilitating innovative thinking and reimagining leadership. \n\n\n \n \n \n \n\n \n Water security is no longer a future concern\, it is already affecting communities\, businesses\, cities\, economies and ecosystems. As pressure on water systems grows\, organisations need credible and practical ways to respond beyond their own operations.
