Call for FacilitatorsOverviewThe Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) was launched by the President of the United States as a signature effort to invest in the next generation of African leaders. The YALI Regional Leadership Center West Africa seeks to empower young men and women between the ages of 18 and 35 from Togo, Nigeria, Ghana, Ivory Coast, The Gambia, Burkina Faso, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, who are ready to embrace leadership and work hard to transform their countries. The YALI Emerging Leaders Program teaches young African leaders about modern leadership. The program is divided into four phases - a coursework/lecture phase delivered online and onsite and the remaining 3 phases distributed equally among a mentorship program, internship or community service, and a report-writing period.Focusing on the coursework phase, it entails three core courses (Leadership and Accountability, Ethics, and Contemporary issues affecting Africa) and one elective course selected from a sample of three courses covering three themes, namely Entrepreneurship, Public Policy and Management, and Civil Society Management.The program is delivered both in-person and on-line. The in-person is delivered at two different locations. We have our Ghana campus at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA), Accra and Nigeria campus at the Administrative and Staff College of Nigeria, Badagry, Lagos. We run the program five times a year. We run it three times in Ghana in March-April, July-August, and November-December. In Nigeria we run the program in February-March and May-June.
