Deadline: 15 December 2015
The African Leadership Institute (AFLI) is currently inviting applications for its Archbishop Tutu Fellowship Programme 2016. The goal of the Program is to nurture and enhance leadership capability across Africa, with particular focus on Africa’s most promising young leaders.
The Awards are aimed at the cream of the continent’s future leaders, as indicated by the demanding selection criteria, specifically targeting the next generation of Africa’s leaders in all sectors of society, between the ages of 25 and 39.
Benefits
- The ATLP involves two 9 day workshops, the first in South Africa on April 23rd to May 1st 2016, while the second will be held at Oxford University and in London at the beginning of September.
- Tasks are also assigned to be completed between the two workshops – with proper planning these can easily be accomplished outside normal work hours. The candidate’s costs on the programme – accommodation, tuition, subsistence, etc. – will be covered by the Fellowship.
Eligibility Criteria
- Candidates must be citizens of an African country, and must be currently living in Africa, or temporarily placed abroad by their employer or completing further education abroad, or working on African projects for a global organisation. They should be committed to living in Africa and to actively contributing to its long term success.
- Applicants must be seeking the cream of Africa’s emerging leaders – people who are expected to be the top level leaders in their sphere of activity in the next 5 to 10 years if they are not already in that position.
- They will be between 25 and 39 years of age (under 40 on 30 April 2016).
How to Apply
Candidates for the Fellowship must be nominated by someone senior in their community or their organization, who is required to motivate their nomination of the candidate on the official Nomination Form available on the website.
