The MINDS Scholarship Programme for Leadership Development in Africa was successfully launched in 2017, bringing to realization our vision of developing young leaders who have a continent-wide development mindset and leaders who can facilitate greater cooperation between African countries. The Scholarship Programme enables African students to study in an African country other than their home country and in this way immerse themselves in the richness and diversity that the country and its communities have to offer. By broadening access to education, we see the expansion of openness to ideas and the creation of a network of like-minded leaders who will help promote the performance and tangible progress of our continent. There is no doubt that a more integrated African economy on a global scale will accelerate growth, generate positive outcomes, and benefit all its communities.
