This pan-African hub aims to bridge the gap between emerging and established leaders, providing the skills, values, and networks necessary to unlock Africa’s demographic potential and foster intergenerational collaboration. “The African leaders that emerge in the next 10 years will be the architects of the world’s evolution over the course of the next 100 years,” said Monica Geingos, Founder and Co-Chair of Leadership Lab Yetu and Former First Lady of Namibia. Driving Impact through Research and ActionThrough its flagship fellowship program and policy labs, Yetu allows leaders to co-create and test innovative solutions.
