Description

The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) of the U.S. Department of State is seeking proposal submissions for one cooperative agreement to design, implement, and oversee the Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders, pending the availability of FY 2018 funds. Begun in 2014, the Mandela Washington Fellowship has enjoyed great success in its first four years, building and sustaining a committed network of approximately 3,000 young African leaders across critical sectors to cement stronger ties between Africa and the United States, and to prepare the African participants (Fellows) for leadership in Africa. The Mandela Washington Fellowship is the flagship program of the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI), which aims to strengthen democratic institutions and good governance, spur economic growth and prosperity, and foster peace and security in Africa.
