OBAMA LEADERS SOUTHERN AFRICAN COHORT
We hosted ten dynamic young leaders from Botswana, Namibia and South Africa at a threeday seminar of dialogues and activations under the theme Intelligence, Development and Impact: Rising to the challenges of addressing Poverty and Inequality. These young leaders were part of the Southern African cohort of the Obama Foundation Leaders and presented a unique opportunity to promote a dialogue on finding African solutions to African challenges. The Obama Foundation manages the Obama Leaders Programme where former United States President Barack Obama personally meets with emerging leaders across the globe to better understand how the Foundation can support the civic work they do. Obama Foundation Leaders: Africa is a yearlong initiative to inspire, empower and connect emerging leaders from across Africa to take on the biggest challenges in their communities, countries and continent.
