The U.S. Embassy is pleased to announce that 25 Zambian leaders have been selected to participate in the 2023 Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders.
Launched in 2014 by the U.S. government, the Mandela Washington Fellowship is the flagship program of the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) and embodies the United States’ commitment to investing in the future of Africa. YALI supports young Africans as they advance economic growth and prosperity, strengthen democratic governance, and enhance peace and security across Africa. Since 2014, nearly 5,800 young leaders from Sub-Saharan Africa (and 228 from Zambia) have participated in the Mandela Washington Fellowship.
Twenty-eight U.S. educational institutions in 20 states will host Leadership Institutes for approximately 700 Mandela Washington Fellows in 2023. The six-week Institutes will support the development of Fellows’ leadership skills through academic study, workshops, mentoring, networking with U.S. leaders, and collaboration with members of the local community.
