Watch Dr Funmi Olonisakin, Executive Director of the African Leadership Centre (ALC) in Nairobi, Kenya speak about the paucity of leadership on the African continent, and how the ALC through its fellowship programme is developing training young Africans for leadership within their communities and in the continent.

Since 2010, the African Women’s Development Fund has supported the ALC with US$130,000 in grant making. This funding has included supporting African women participating in ALC’s peace, security and development fellowship programme, research on governance, peace and security as well as supporting the development of ALC’s ICT platform.
