Creates a formal U.S. program to train young African leaders and boost partnerships with American citizens.
This bill would formally establish the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) as a U.S. government program. It would offer training and networking to young African leaders in business, civic engagement, and public administration. It would also allow American citizens to collaborate with program alumni, strengthening ties between the U.S. and Africa.
Today, the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) exists but is not formally written into law. This bill would formally establish YALI as a U.S. government program under the Secretary of State. It would define its purpose, specific fellowship and activity components, and require implementation plans and annual reports for a 5-year period before the program sunsets.
