The US Vice President Kamala Harris has announced plans to work with Congress to fund an additional government investment of more than $100 million in the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI).
VP Harris made the announcement at the recently-held U.S-Africa Leaders Summit in Washington, D.C.
The Young African Leaders Exchange, the first pan-African virtual platform will be established by USAID in collaboration with partners. This will enable the Diaspora and other important stakeholders to directly connect with nearly 28,000 YALI alumni from 49 sub-Saharan countries since the launch of YALI in 2010.
A well-intentioned move: The Exchange fosters networking, enhances the leadership of women and marginalized youth, highlights initiatives, strengthens the role of mentors and coaches, and assists young African leaders in obtaining grants or internships.
