Young African Leaders Initiative, YALI 2018 application
procedure. The Young African Leaders Initiative, or YALI, is not just a
fellowship, or an online community, or a place to go for regional
leadership training. YALI is all three!
The Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) is a signature effort to invest in the next generation of African leaders. Nearly 1 in 3 Africans are between the ages of 10 and 24, and approximately 60 percent of Africa’s total population is below the age of 35. Former President Obama launched YALI in 2010 to support young African leaders as they spur growth and prosperity, strengthen democratic governance, and enhance peace and security across Sub-Saharan Africa.
The 2018 Mandela Washington Fellowship application opens on Wednesday, 13 September at 16:00 GMT/UTC.

- Launched in 2014, the Mandela Washington Fellowship is YALI’s flagship program. It brings up to 1,000 African civic, business and community leaders aged 25–35 for six weeks of academic coursework, leadership training and networking at U.S. universities.
- Through the YALI Network, young Africans can connect with other leaders in their community, access free online courses in topics ranging from climate change to entrepreneurship to human rights, and receive invitations to special events.
- The four YALI Regional Leadership Centers — in Kenya, South Africa, Senegal and Ghana — train young leaders in leadership, entrepreneurship and professional development. They also provide a great place to network.
