Challenge

The African continent has the youngest population on earth, with an amazing amount of entrepreneurial energy and hope for the future. Business opportunities abound across the continent, but there is however a deficit of sustainability-conscious leaders who can steer the leadership of African countries to maximize these opportunities.

Solution

The One Million Leaders Africa program intends to harness this positive energy and help train a whole new generation of leaders across the continent, who can help put Africa on a more sustainable course.

Long-Term Impact

In the long run, the OMLA program aims to create a vibrant network of young leaders who work together to transform Africa. The experience gained as OMLA Fellow, OMLA Star and OMLA Starlet forms the foundation of the OMLA Alumni action.
