LCAN, ABCCCP sign MoU to drive coaching practice in Africa

Two of Africa’s leading professional coaching bodies, the Life Coaches Association of Nigeria (LCAN) and the African Board of Consultants, Coaches and Coaching Psychologists (ABCCCP) have announced a landmark partnership to propel the coaching profession across the continent. This strategic alliance is poised to redefine standards, ethics, and professional development for coaches throughout Africa, setting the stage for a robust advancement of the industry.

This partnership will propel the African coaching industry to new heights. The alliance leverages LCAN’s expertise in creating standardized coaching, accreditation, and networking platforms, as well as ABCCCP’s focus on ensuring the highest levels of ethics and excellence within the profession.

“This alliance represents a significant step forward for our continent,” said Dr. Lanre Olusola, LCAN Board of Trustees chairman. “By combining our strengths, we aim to create a robust framework that elevates the standards and ethics of coaching and consulting practices across Africa.”

LCAN and ABCCCP are united by a shared vision and a common goal: to elevate the standards and ethics of coaching and consulting practices across Africa. Formalized through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), the alliance is a commitment to ongoing professional development, global collaborations, and participation in international research and best practices.

“South Africa and Nigeria are two of the largest economies in Africa, making this collaboration a natural fit,” said Dr. Mongezi C. Makhalima, ABCCCP’s President. “The ABCCCP-LCAN partnership opens doors for practitioners across the continent, offering access to valuable resources and ensuring leaders in all spheres receive the highest quality coaching and consulting support.”

“This collaboration ensures that African coaches not only uphold the highest global standards but are empowered to support individuals, businesses, and communities on their growth journeys,” said Omawumi Ogbe, president at LCAN. “The impact of this partnership is not just on the coaching profession, but on the transformation of individuals and communities across the continent.”
