Today five hundred young Africans, women and men adjudged to be some of the most promising leaders on the continent, are in the United States for a six week program courtesy of President Obama’s Young Africa Leadership Initiative (YALI). YALI is a program initiated by President Obama in 2010 to invest in the next generation of African leaders. This is through enhancing their leadership skills, encouraging entrepreneurship and connecting young African leaders with one another and with Americans.
