What is ALA ?

African Leadership Academy is an institution whose mission is to transform Africa by developing a powerful network of young leaders who will work together to address Africa’s greatest challenges, achieve extraordinary social impact, and accelerate the continent’s growth trajectory.

With a Leadership development Model of enabling lasting peace and shared prosperity, the African Leadership Academy strives to achieve its mission by identifying, developing and connecting Africa’s future leaders, through its diverse programs including the Anzisha Prize, the Global Scholars Program (GSP), the Model African Union (MAU), the Build-in-a-Box (BIAB), amongst others.

As an Academy, the African Leadership Academy offers a two-year residential program for teenagers: the ALA Diploma Program. This tight-knit, pan-African community empowers each student with the skills and mindsets required for transformative leadership. Beyond academic theory, the ALA curriculum fosters critical inquiry, entrepreneurial leadership, and cross-cultural competence.

At the end of the 2-year Pre-University Diploma Program, students graduate as well-rounded young leaders who are equipped to navigate and excel in an increasingly complex world.

Believe

Participants learn to believe in their ability to effect change. They embrace a mindset of continual improvement and recognize their power to shape the world around them.

Understand

BUILD encourages empathy. Youth entrepreneurs understand the needs, aspirations, and pain points of their community. By listening and observing, they gain insights that inform their entrepreneurial ventures.

Invent

Armed with empathy, participants generate a wide range of possible solutions. They prototype and test their ideas, seeking feedback from potential customers and stakeholders..

Listen

The iterative process continues as young entrepreneurs listen to feedback, refine their solutions, and adapt. Listening ensures that their ventures align with community needs.

Deliver

Finally, participants mobilize resources and leverage networks to deliver impactful solutions. Whether it’s a social enterprise, a tech startup, or a community project, BUILD empowers youth to turn ideas into action
