Creates new training programs for young African leaders and entrepreneurs.
This bill would officially establish the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) as a U.S. government program. It would create new training centers and online resources for young leaders and entrepreneurs in sub-Saharan Africa. This aims to boost their skills in business, civic engagement, and public administration.
Today, the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) operates as a U.S. government effort, with about 700 fellows participating in the Mandela Washington Fellowship in 2021. This bill would formally establish YALI in law, creating a permanent structure for the program. It would also mandate the creation of at least four regional leadership centers and an online network, and require regular reports on the program's progress.
