Purpose

This project seeks to prepare the next generation of innovative leaders in sub-Saharan Africa to actively contribute to their local and global communities and to advance economic prosperity, social justice and equity in Africa. The project supports promising young African professionals to become leaders in public policy and administration by providing scholarships for 120 to 130 young women and men to complete a Masters' degree in public administration in Canada. The goal is to provide these future leaders with high-quality academic training as well as professional training by exposing them to Canadian practical and relevant public sector expertise, experience, innovation and best practices in governance, public policy and administration in both social and economic sectors.
