YOUNG AFRICAN LEADERS
INTIATIVE [YALI]
Today I would
like to talk alittle about a program I am part of this year called the YOUNG
AFRICAN LEADERS INTIATIVE otherwise known as YALI
Here is the
link to the website YALI SITE
This program
was started by the current US President Barak Obama to invest in the next
generation of African leaders in areas of Business and Entrepreneurship, Public
Management and Civic leadership.
Those selected
into the program are known as Mandela Washington Fellows [MWF], named after one
of the greatest African leaders Nelson Mandela.
The program consists
of going to the US for 6 weeks in different institutions across America to be equipped
in what they are already doing under the tracks they applied in.
The application
process is very vigorous and highly competitive.
There are
also regional courses that offer courses and also online courses one can still
do.
I encourage people
to check the website for more details.
I will personally
write my experience from the perspective of culture in the next couple of
weeks. It will depend on my schedule and availability of my time to work on the
blog while there.
I hope you
will learn from my experiences and see the US in an African perspective.
There will be more information as we go along
To be
continued soon……………..
