About Africa Leadership Initiative West Africa (ALIWA)

The Africa Leadership Initiative West Africa (ALIWA) was launched in 2006. It is a joint venture of the Aspen Institute, Databank Foundation, and LEAP Africa. Along with the other ALI Fellowships, ALIWA was one of the first set of Fellowships founded under the Aspen Global Leadership Network. The Aspen Institute provides intellectual & philosophical content; LEAP Africa and Databank Foundation served largely as facilitators, working with local partners to plan, fund, and administer the Fellowship Programme until a dedicated Secretariat was set up.
The program is designed to raise the critical consciousness of the youth around personal, social and civic responsibility by enhancing their understanding of moral and effective leadership, what constitutes a Good Society and their role in it as important stakeholders.
Participants are challenged to think more critically and deeply about their values and ideas, and those that make the Good Society. The program equips them with the knowledge and skills to build their leadership capabilities towards achieving greater societal impact. On completion, participants emerge from the program with a new perspective of the demand on their leadership as they confront the challenges facing the West Africa region, and indeed the difficult choices of our ever-changing world
