The Mandela Washington Fellowship is the flagship program of President Obama’s Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI), which is fostering closer relations between the people of the United States and communities across Africa. Each 2016 Mandela Washington Fellow will complete a six-week academic and leadership institute at one of the selected U.S. colleges and universities in one of the following areas: Business and Entrepreneurship; Civic Leadership; Public Management. New in 2016, one of the institutes will focus on Energy. Fellows’ participation in all of the institutes will include academic coursework, leadership training, mentoring, networking, professional opportunities, and community activities. The 2016 host university partners represent the excellence and diversity of U.S. higher education. They include public and private institutions, Historically Black Colleges & Universities, Hispanic Serving Institutions, large universities, and small colleges.
