YALI and Microsoft ADC to Provide Digital Skills and Solutions to Young African Leaders

The Young African Leaders Initiative Regional Leadership Centre East Africa (YALI) and the Microsoft Africa Development Centre (ADC) have come into a partnership in an effort to impart digital skills to the up-and-coming leaders in the region.

Partnerships are a vital part of our mission as Microsoft to empower everyone to do more. YALI provides essential skills to build a better future, and we are excited to contribute to improving digital skills among their participants. Preparing young leaders with the knowledge to excel within an increasingly digital-first landscape is a great way to set the continent up for success within the global economy.

The engagement between the Young African Leaders Initiative and the ADC is an opportunity to grow the digital skills of our trainees while augmenting the vision and goals of both YALI and the ADC. It is also a great opportunity to engage in designing training modules for our program’s current and future participants.

Our digital skilling efforts align with YALI’s vision of providing access to all emerging leaders regardless of socio-economic status. We are actively investing in creating and fulfilling opportunities for all Africans in the drive towards continental digital transformation.
