LEAP Africa trains women for leadership roles

LEAP Africa has concluded the fifth cohort of its Leadership Accelerator Programme for Young African Women, with the first physical boot camp held in Nairobi, Kenya. The programme, designed to equip young women with essential leadership skills, attracted over 4,500 women from 48 African and non-African countries, with 31 women from various African countries selected for the Nairobi boot camp.

The initiative aims to address the leadership gap among African women and develop leaders who can influence policies, transform institutions, and strengthen communities. Participants described the boot camp as a transformative experience, praising the opportunity to learn from facilitators and connect with emerging leaders from different African nations.
