The Young African Leadership Initiative Program 2020 opened in Accra, Ghana on Monday bringing together 97 youths from across the continent.
A staggering 11,000 people applied for this year’s YALI program but only 97 were selected among them five youths from The Gambia.
YALI is an initiative of United States Department of State which began in 2010.
It is not only aimed at networking young African Youths but it is a life transformation program; an intensed leadership training program that guides and transforms the mindset of the African youth into understanding issues affecting their individual countries and Africa at large and how to tackle those issues.
The program is a five weeks program, two weeks online training and three weeks onsite training in Accra, Ghana.
