Description:
This project seeks to prepare the next generation of innovative leaders in sub-Saharan Africa to actively contribute to their local and global communities and to advance economic prosperity, social justice and equity in Africa. The project supports promising young African professionals to become leaders in public policy and administration by providing scholarships for 120 to 130 young women and men to complete a Masters' degree in public administration in Canada. The goal is to provide these future leaders with high-quality academic training as well as professional training by exposing them to Canadian practical and relevant public sector expertise, experience, innovation and best practices in governance, public policy and administration in both social and economic sectors.
This project is co-funded with The MasterCard Foundation, a global, independent organization that collaborates with partner organizations in 46 countries to create opportunities for all people to learn and prosper. The African Leaders of Tomorrow Scholarships Fund was created in honour of the late Nelson Mandela.
