Africa Leaders Program

United States

Description

President Obama has met with emerging leaders from nearly every corner of the globe to hear from young civic leaders and better understand how the Obama Foundation can support their work. From Brazil, Germany, Indonesia, India, Singapore and New Zealand — his foundation has heard first-hand what resources and skills are required to have an impact, what’s already working on the ground, and the universal themes and values that tie this work together across geographic, political, and cultural differences. The foundation is making efforts to support and develop the next generation of leaders through a programme called Obama Foundation Leaders. It is a year-long initiative to inspire, empower and connect 200 emerging leaders from across Africa to take on the biggest challenges in their communities, countries, and continent.
