Fully Funded YALI Africa-wide Online Program 2021 for emerging young African Leaders
Application Deadline: June 16th 2021
YALI Africa (YA) is a catalyst for transformational learning and leadership for youth in Africa, a robust program delivered using holistic, interactive simulations and mentorship approaches. YA is a continental umbrella organization comprised of four Regional Leadership Centers (RLC’s). The four RLCs, located at African higher education institutions in Ghana, Kenya, Senegal and South Africa, offer both in-person and online training. The RLCs are open to young leaders between the ages of 18-35 and serve as a place for regional collaboration driven by these young leaders who all have one agenda…to make an impact that matters in their communities.
The RLCs are located in Sub-Saharan Africa, drawing 49 countries on the continent and ensuring diversity of language, culture, and social and economic background. Youth from these countries converge and interact during intensive training, which aims to boost courage, innovation, Pan Africanism, diversity & social inclusion, change-making and design thinking. The centres have empowered over 20,000 young leaders to date. YALI delivers a holistic curriculum that develops and supports a professional network of uniquely trained, highly qualified leaders in three tracks of study; motivates participants to be a positive force for transformational change in their communities; and encourages alumni to give back through training other leaders. For the first time ever, the four RLCs, under YALI Africa, are coming together to deliver a continental-wide training program, effectively bringing young people from the 49 countries together under one venue for learning.
YALI Africa will provide core training in contemporary African issues and specialized training in three research tracks: Business and Entrepreneurship, Civic Leadership and Public Management. The inaugural cohort will take place from August 23 – October 15, 2021.
