The Young African Leaders Initiative Legacy Localization (YALI LL) is working with the Education and Youth division of USAID’s Africa Bureau to support the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) program with harmonizing recruitment, admissions, curriculum, communications, and increased opportunities for YALI alumni across the continent in an African-led approach.
This project is implemented by ASU’s International Development Initiative and draws on the capabilities of the Watts College of Public Service and Community Solutions, the J. Orin Edson Entrepreneurship + Innovation Initiative and EdPlus. In addition to the African Diaspora Network, key YALI LL partners include FHI 360, Geeks Without Frontiers, N50 and CoELIB at Egerton University in Kenya. An African team of experts implement the day-to-day activities across 49 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, operating from four hubs based in Nairobi- Kenya; Dakar- Senegal; Accra-Ghana; and Pretoria-South Africa.
