LeAD Campus is an ambitious certifying training programme designed for African leaders from the private, public, and non-profit sectors to support the needs identified on the African continent. Initiated by Africa France, the program's operational implementation will be ensured by a consortium of world leading universities: Sciences Po (France), ISM (Senegal), the Graduate School of Development Policy and Practice (South Africa) and the CEFEB (from French Development Agency)

The promotion (25 entrepreneurs) gathered for the first time in South Africa on April 5 to start the training program.

 

Five entrepreneurs working with I&P participate to the Lead Campus program, thanks to the support of the African Club of Entrepreneurs:  Yann Akindélé (ACEP Burkina), Abdou Cissé (ACEP Niger), Khadiadiatou Nakoulima (NEST), Mieja Vola Rakotonarivo (Nutri’Zaza) and Narcisse Zola (Bhélix).

 

LeAD Campus - Global Leaders for Africa’s Development is a degree programme aimed at training “360-degree managers” capable of incorporating the challenges related to growth and sustainable development on the African continent into the practices of their companies and organisations.
This intensive programme, taught in both French and English, is structured around three key topics specific to Africa: Business, Leadership and Societal Challenges. The one-week sessions will be organised successively in South Africa, Dakar and Paris. In-class training sessions will be complemented by innovative distance learning activities that combine e-learning courses, a business game and language skills enhancement.
