President Obama's Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI)
The Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) was launched by President of the United
States Barack Obama as a signature effort to invest in the next generation of African
leaders. The need to invest in grooming strong, results-oriented leaders comes out of
the statistics: nearly 1 in 3 Africans are between the ages of 10 and 24, and
approximately 60% of Africa's total population is below the age of 35. Who will
empower and lead these young Africans? Who will shape the future of business and
entrepreneurship, civil society leadership, and public sector management? In order to
answer these questions, YALI promotes three models designed to identify and empower
young leaders: the YALI Mandela Washington Fellowship, YALI Network and now the
establishment of Regional Leadership Centres across Africa.
Supporting this progress, the YALI Regional Leadership Centre (RLC) West Africa, Accra,
a part of President Obama's Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI), will offer an
innovative and game changing leadership training program in Africa on the following
courses:
1. Business And Entrepreneurship
2. Civil Society Leadership
3. Public Sector Management
The program will be hosted by the Ghana Institute of Management and Public
Administration (GIMPA) with seasoned lecturers from USA and across Africa.
