YALI Training the Next Generation of Leaders in Africa

Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) has over the years trained young African leaders to prepare them for leadership roles in Africa’s future. It is for this reason that the American Chamber of Commerce in Ghana is partnering with YALI to bring to the notice of Members, the works and some of the positive impacts and success stories of the program.

AmCham’s involvement is to appeal to Member companies to assist YALI Cohorts by providing mentorship, internship opportunities and some instances assist cohorts to engage in community service.  Some notable U.S companies like Dow Chemical, MasterCard and Microsoft have led the efforts at training these cohorts at the YALI Center at GIMPA. Chamber Members may also consider funding this program as part of their contribution to the development of leaders in the sub region.

The Executive Secretary of the Chamber sat down with Dr. Shola Safo-Duodu, Director of YALI and she shared details on the initiative and success stories of some cohorts. Watch video below.
