The Mwalimu Nyerere Pan-African Young Leaders Fellowship Programme is a youth leadership fellowship programme that seeks to nurture, mentor, train, challenge, engage, define and transform all Africa’s young generation into responsible, dedicated, transformative and peace loving Pan-African leaders of the continent.
“if real development is to take place, the people have to be involved”. Against this backdrop, Africa remains the youngest continent on planet with over 65% of its current population being under the age of 35. In this regard, the Mwalimu Nyerere Pan-African Young Leaders Fellowship Programme seeks to tap into this rich demographic dividend where youth across the continent will merge in one place for a comprehensive and rigorous leadership and mentorship fellowship programme with a particular purpose of training, mentoring, nurturing and transforming youth so that they are gloomed for their respective current and future leadership callings.
The overall objective of Mwalimu Nyerere Pan-African Young Leaders Fellowship Programme is to explore, research on and disseminate Mwalimu Julius Nyerere’s leadership philosophy, style and practices which promote peace, unity and people-centered development to African young leaders so as to transform them to resourceful and productive current and future leaders of the continent.
