The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) has inaugurated its first cohort of the IGAD Leadership Academy (ILA), aimed at nurturing a new generation of visionary, ethical, and inclusive leaders to drive regional integration and sustainable development.
ILA was established in 2022 to facilitate the mentorship and provisioning of future leaders with the critical skill sets necessary to steer the course of a rapidly developing multi-cultural African society in the 21st century and beyond.
The Academy is rooted in the principle that Africa requires home-based solutions to its unique challenges.
It focuses on developing visionary, ethical, and gender-responsive leaders through training, mentorship and peer-learning.
