The groundbreaking ceremony of The LEAP Institute held on Wednesday 13th November 2019 at Abijo GRA, Ibeju Lekki, Lagos Nigeria and was championed by President & CEO of Mastercard Foundation, Reeta.
The LEAP Institute is LEAP Africa’s proposed leadership centre for developing the next generation of Pan-African change agents across all sectors to champion the course of a new Africa. This project is a step further towards the LEAP’s goal of raising innovative youths with an entrepreneurial mindset to catalyze the continent to prosperity and provide solutions to Africa's problems.
The Institute will be a fully equipped academic platform for developing highly-skilled professionals who will lead cutting-edge research in the state of the youth affairs, social entrepreneurship, nation-building, advocacy and policy development and act as resource persons for government, the social and the private sector. It will also strengthen ecosystems in leadership, business sustainability, youth and social development in Africa by serving as a hub bringing key industry stakeholders to discuss and proffer innovative solutions to pertinent issues across Africa. The project is a five-year plan which is expected to be completed by 2025.
Join us in our efforts to build a leadership centre for Africans!
