Application is now Open for Young Leaders Programme by the French-African Foundation
The French-African Foundation has launched a call for applications for its 2023 Young Leaders programme around the theme “Unleash the energy”.
The French-African Foundation, founded in 2019, works to develop generations of committed leaders in both France and Africa. Every year, it issues a call for applications in all African countries and in France in order to identify and bring together the most promising Franco-African talents.
To address the suspension of the 2020 programme due to the COVID-19 crisis, the foundation doubled its membership to 100 Young Leaders in 2021, and the laureates met in Paris and Dakar under the patronage of Senegal’s President Macky Sall.
The French-African Foundation is currently looking for 30 young people from Africa and France to join its new cohort. “Unleash the energy” is the theme of this year’s Young Leaders program.
The foundation, which is supported by France’s President Emmanuel Macron and Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame, will bring together the new class for a week in France in June and a week in Rwanda later in the year for meetings, training, and privileged professional and personal exchanges.
Applicants must be between the ages of 28 and 40 in 2023, have demonstrated leadership skills, or have exceptional professional qualities in their respective fields! Fluency in English is required, while proficiency in French is preferred but not required. All fields of endeavor are welcome.
Applications are being accepted until March 17. The winners will be chosen by a high-level jury, and the results will be announced in May.
