2014/2015 was a momentous year for African Leadership Academy (ALA). We welcomed our second cohort of university graduates back to the continent to launch careers and build impactful ventures; we opened the Nelson Mandela Residence, a stunning new dormitory space; and we invested in programs to expand our impact beyond our campus walls. As we reflect on the past year, we celebrate some exciting progress:

• The most stirring highlight of the past year has been observing the impact our young leaders are already having on Africa. To date, 69% of our first two cohorts of university graduates are living and working in Africa. More exciting, our graduates are engaged in truly transformative work. ALA alumnus Julius Shirima from Tanzania (Class of 2008, College of Wooster) won the 2015 Commonwealth Youth Award – as the most impactful youth under the age of 29 from the 53 Commonwealth member states – for his work launching Darecha, a micro-venture capital fund and entrepreneur network in his home country. Julius received his award from none other than the Queen of England herself!

We are often asked whether our graduates will ever come back to the continent. The early indicators of the past year suggest that the answer is a resounding “yes”! We are more confident than ever that the young leaders who emerge from ALA will play a pivotal role in creating lasting peace and shared prosperity on the continent.

• We built the Nelson Mandela Residence, which allows us to expand our core program. As you’ll see in the coming pages, our new student and faculty spaces are truly beautiful, and the excitement around them on campus is palpable. The Residence has attracted some of our strongest faculty to live on campus, improving the quality of care and guidance we offer our young leaders 24/7. But the main impact has been to allow us to increase our student capacity. By 2017, we will have 264 young leaders residing on a comfortable, secure campus: a 47% increase in our student numbers. The success of the Nelson Mandela Residence construction encourages us as we embark on the next audacious project in our Campus Master Plan: The Pardee Learning Commons.

• Finally, we started investing in plans to scale our model and curriculum across the continent and the globe. Through a renewed Anzisha program partnership with The MasterCard Foundation, we are accelerating youth entrepreneurship across the continent. The new partnership will allow us to create a year-round support program that will dramatically strengthen the entrepreneurial ecosystem for young people on the continent. We also piloted our curriculum sharing and school advisory services through our Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership – an offering that will help shape more “leadership academies” for Africa and the world. We are thrilled to have entered into long-term partnerships with both African Leadership University (Mauritius) and LEAF Academy (Slovakia) as we begin to define the best model for spreading our intellectual property around the world.

Together, we are growing a network of young leaders who are driving the catalytic change that will ultimately lead our continent to lasting peace and shared prosperity.

Thank you for joining us on this journey, and we look forward to your continued partnership in the years to come.

With gratitude,

Fred SwanikerFounder & Executive Chairman

ALA’s Leadership Development ModelAFRICAN LEADERSHIP ACADEMY SEEKS TO TRANSFORM AFRICA BY IDENTIFYING, DEVELOPING AND CONNECTING ITS FUTURE LEADERS

Young leaders complete an intensive program of intellectual growth and hands-on leadership development.

During her two years at ALA, young leader Mariem Bchir from Tunisia (ALA Class of 2013; Recipient of the Belk Scholarship - a full merit scholarship, at Davidson College) furthered her passion for education as the curriculum developer at EmoArt, a student enterprise that aims to empower young girls in Johannesburg through artistic mediums.

We comb Africa for youth who have shown the spark of initiative; who see what can be and strive to make it so.

Identifying poor sanitation conditions and the prohibitive cost of hygiene products in his home community, young leader Edison Murairi from DRC launched a pilot project to create soap in the back of his home to supply soap to members of his community. In the first phase of his project, he distributed bars of soap to almost 100 members of his community.

Young leaders are guided by a powerful network along their path to transformative impact in Africa.

Young leader and aspiring artist Norah Oteri (ALA Class of 2012; Amherst College) from Kenya was able to push her artistic skills to new heights by presenting her portrait of Nelson Mandela to former First Lady of South Africa,Graça Machel, at the official opening of ALA’s Nelson Mandela Residence.

At ALA, we believe that it takes several years to become a transformative leader, and we continuously engage with and support our students in their transition to university, as they start careers, launch ventures, and pursue their goals beyond the Academy walls. ALA provides alumni with life-long access to powerful networks, support and opportunities that will accelerate their impact and leadership journeys.

This year, we are particularly excited to have expanded the size and scope of our Lifelong Engagement Team, whose mission it is to connect members of the ALA network to each other, to ALA and to Africa, enabling us to collectively transform the African continent.

• Enabling successful entry into university through programs such as our Graduate Support and Host Family Programs.

• Enabling success while at university through ongoing support and professional development and connecting our young leaders to ongoing leadership development opportunities.

• Enabling successful entry into pre-employment or employment opportunities, with a specific focus on returning to Africa, through ALA’s Africa Careers Network.

• Connecting young leaders in ALA’s extended network of programs (such as Anzisha, The MasterCard Foundation Scholars Program) through programming and events across the continent and the globe.

• Enabling ALA’s Graduate Network.



Expanding our Programs& InfrastructureThis year, we built the Nelson Mandela Residence, our brand new student and faculty residential space, which will enable us to increase our student numbers by 47% by 2017. We also created our Campus Master Plan, the framework to develop ALA’s Johannesburg campus into a truly 21st century learning environment

Young leader Norah Oteri from Kenya, presents her portrait of Nelson Mandela to Graça Machel, former First Lady of South Africa, at the official inauguration ceremony of the Nelson Mandela Residence.


This year, we built the Nelson Mandela Residence at ALA. The new residential spaces are truly beautiful and have attracted some of our strongest faculty to live on campus.

We enter the 2015/2016 year with 19 residential faculty and staff members living on campus, spread across beautiful houses and apartment spaces adjoining the Residence. This is nearly double the residential staff and faculty on campus historically, all of whom were limited to living in single dormitory-style rooms. The new residential faculty and staff spaces have increased competitive demand for on-campus housing including families with children, and enable us to dramatically increase the quality of care, guidance and overall residential experience we can offer to our young leaders 24/7.

But the main impact has been to allow us to increase our capacity with regards to students, enabling us to expand our mission impact on Africa. By 2017, we will have 264 young leaders residing on a comfortable and secure campus: a 47% increase in our student numbers. The expanded

space will also enable us to increase the capacity for the Global Scholars Program, welcoming more young people and visiting faculty from across the world to our Johannesburg campus. Two years of planning and 12 months of construction have finally brought us to the end of our first building project. We are particularly proud of the fact that we were able to complete this project 7% under budget.

We ceremoniously broke ground on the construction site of the new dormitory on Graduation Day in June 2014. We are thrilled that, exactly one year later, we were able to unveil the Nelson Mandela Residence with a naming ceremony and ribbon cutting by former First Lady of South Africa, Graça Machel.

The Nelson Mandela Residence will welcome its inaugural cohort of young leaders and residential faculty in September 2015.

To support our strategic priority of Great People, Great Infrastructure, we embarked on the process of creating a Campus Master Plan, the framework to develop our campus in Johannesburg to enable our long-term strategic vision.

The process involved extensive engagement with a range of ALA stakeholders including students, alumni, staffulty, management and the Board of Trustees. We travelled to boarding schools across the world to understand best practices while also organizing on-campus workshops to understand the design principles that would inform our Master Plan from a uniquely ALA perspective.

To help us turn our ideas into an architectural framework, we engaged MMA Design Studio, a Johannesburg-based architectural firm with an inspiring portfolio of work developing public, cultural and educational institutions. The resulting design presents an exciting and flexible roadmap for ALA’s future campus development.

The Plan includes new buildings to support our curriculum and programming, which include spaces such as a BUILD-lab, 45-seat theatre-style classrooms, a wellness center and art studios. It also includes outdoor and public spaces that will encourage learning, reflection and community, such as an amphitheater and outdoor classrooms.

The Plan was officially shared with the ALA community on Founders’ Day, our annual celebration of ALA’s birth, and it was met with excitement and enthusiasm!

The expansion and renovation of our student and faculty accommodation, the Nelson Mandela Residence, marks the first phase of campus development, and we are already reimagining and redesigning our library and classrooms with an anticipated construction start of early 2016.

The Pardee Learning Commons, the second construction project in ALA’s Campus Master Plan, will redesign and redefine our learning spaces, positioning ALA as a model for 21st century teaching and learning.

Expanding our Campus: ALA’s Master Plan


Reaching beyond our CampusThis year, we invested significantly in plans to scale our model and curriculum across the continent and the globe. From a renewed Anzisha partnership with The MasterCard Foundation, our curriculum sharing and school advisory services, to conducting an evidence-based pan-African pilot of our BUILD-in-a-Box entrepreneurial leadership camps, we are excited about the prospects of expanding the impact of our unique Entrepreneurial Leadership curriculum across the continent and the globe.


This year we strengthened our existing partnership with The MasterCard Foundation in the form of a $9.2m program over the next 6 years. The partnership will transition the Anzisha Prize, Africa’s premier award for youth entrepreneurship, to a year-round Anzisha Program, which will significantly strengthen the youth entrepreneurial ecosystem across the Continent.

The Anzisha Prize

• The Anzisha Prize, run by ALA in partnership with The MasterCard Foundation, seeks to celebrate young African entrepreneurs who have developed and implemented innovative solutions to social challenges or started successful businesses in their communities.

• The strengthened partnership enables the delivery of a suite of Anzisha Program activities that will nurture, celebrate and scale Africa’s youngest entrepreneurs – firmly focused on youth under 22 years old.

• The program will provide for the launch of a number of new activities aimed at supporting young entrepreneurs such as the Youth Entrepreneur Support Unit (YES-U), the Experts-in-Residents Program, the expanded BUILD-in-a-Box program and the Anzisha Prize Tour.

• Recognizing ALA’s role as a thought leader in the space of Entrepreneurial Leadership programs for teachers and students, the new partnership also supports the continued development of our curriculum sharing and school advisory services through our Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership.

Accelerating Youth Entrepreneurship in Africa



The new Anzisha Program aims to achieve the following by 2020:

high potential entrepreneurs to be recognized

youth entrepreneurs to be supported

youth to receive entrepreneurship training through BUILD

10,000

BUILD-in-a-Box

• Over the past year, ALA has further expanded the field testing and reach of our BUILD-in-a-Box portable toolkit and curriculum.

• BUILD-in-a-Box provides content and teaching materials for peer-driven entrepreneurial leadership learning, allowing for scaled delivery of our curriculum across the continent.

• The MasterCard Foundation has been a key partner of the BUILD-in-a-Box program from inception, supporting the early stages of curriculum development to refinement.

• This year, ALA has also initiated a partnership with the Blackstone Charitable Foundation to conduct a robust, systematic pilot to measure the effects of BUILD-in-a-Box camps, which will culminate in 2016. Results of the pilot will inform program design and potential scale-up of the program in the future.

• The pilot will see at least 30 camps happen in at least 23 different African countries with the potential of impacting more than 700 African youth, encouraging them to pursue solutions to local and regional challenges.

• In addition, to further bolster the impact of the program, ALA has collaborated with different partner organizations who are actively invested in the growth and success of youth across the continent.

• The participants of the camps will be students and other young people from across Africa who have the greatest challenges in accessing formal employment. ALA also hopes to establish a growing network of trained BUILD-in-a-Box facilitators who will form the bedrock of an ecosystem to support budding entrepreneurs across various contexts.

Changing Youth Mindsets towards Entrepreneurship

BUILD-IN-A-BOX CAMPSBUILD-in-a-Box camps are 2-day entrepreneurial leadership camps facilitated by ALA students and based on ALA’s unique entrepreneurial leadership curriculum. By running BUILD-in-a-Box camps in their home countries, ALA students are able to find practical application of what they learn in class and grow their own networks while simultaneously scaling the impact of our curriculum across the continent.

ALA’s Curriculum Sharing and School Advisory Services

• With over eleven years’ experience in developing and delivering entrepreneurial leadership programs, ALA’s faculty and staff have frequently served as informal advisors and trainers to other educational institutions wanting to implement similar approaches.

• Recognizing the enormous opportunity for scaling our impact through advising other educators, over the past year, we set about creating a packaged offering of our Entrepreneurial Leadership curriculum, tools, advisory services and content.

• This year, we successfully released the first packaged version of our 2-year Entrepreneurial Leadership curriculum, tools and advisory services. We also informally launched our first educator professional development program and began offering advisory services and content to rising entrepreneurial leadership institutions.

• In partnership with The MasterCard Foundation, we also undertook a marketplace study to explore the opportunities in providing consulting and training to other schools wanting to introduce structured leadership and entrepreneurship programs. The results pointed to a very viable, mission-relevant, revenue opportunity

for ALA, which could enable us to dramatically scale our footprint and impact across other educational institutions.

• We have since aggressively pursued this opportunity, investing in the human capital, content and tools to enable a training and advisory unit that will leverage our investment into curriculum development to date.

• With an anticipated launch date of late 2015, we are excited at the potential impact our curriculum sharing and school advisory services could have on building other “leadership academies” in Africa and the world.

Sharing our Expertise



From Slovakia to Mauritius: ALA’s curriculum across the globeWe are thrilled to have entered into long-term curriculum licensing and advisory partnerships with both African Leadership University (Mauritius) and LEAF Academy (Slovakia) - each of which will contribute significantly to ALA’s program revenue, furthering our strategic goal of financial sustainability.

The first ALU campus opens in Mauritius in September 2015.



Over the past two years, the LEAF team has spent extensive time with ALA’s staff and students, with a view of identifying and replicating best practices in their leadership academy.

• LEAF is ALA’s inaugural secondary school client for our curriculum sharing and school advisory services. With a three-year service agreement in place, ALA will extend the reach of our entrepreneurial leadership curriculum into Europe.

• Two of LEAF’s educators spent a year teaching at ALA in our Science and Entrepreneurial Leadership faculties, respectively, and several of their team members have spent time learning from colleagues on the ALA campus.

• ALA students have participated in LEAF’s summer leadership camps for the past two years, and two of the 2014 participants, Valery Otieno (Kenya) and Lina Saidia (Tunisia) will serve as counselors for the 2015 camp.

• ALA’s CEO and Co-Founder Chris Bradford serves on LEAF’s Global Advisory Board alongside several leading heads of school from around the world.

• Chris Cheney, previously Assistant Dean at ALA, has joined LEAF as their inaugural Head of School.

• Four ALA graduates will join LEAF in 2015/2016 for 6-month internships in curriculum design.

When a team of Slovakian business leaders decided to build a leadership academy to serve Central Europe, they sought to learn from the most innovative educational institutions across the globe – from Singapore to the United States. We are thrilled that LEAF has sought to model many essential aspects of its curriculum on African Leadership Academy.

ALA’s Progress against Strategic Priorities GREAT PEOPLE, GREAT INFRASTRUCTURE

ALA graduates join the ALA teamAs we place special emphasis on attracting and retaining world-class people, we are thrilled to bring ALA graduates into the ALA team. To date, we have offered internships to 42 ALA graduates and a full time position to one.

We built the Nelson Mandela Residence This year, we built the Nelson Mandela Residence, our brand new student and faculty residential space. The increased residential capacity will enable us to enroll over 1700 more young leaders in our Two Year Program by 2050, and to increase the capacity for the Global Scholars Program, welcoming more young people and visiting faculty from across the world to our Johannesburg campus.

Campus Master PlanWe officially launched our Campus Master Plan, the framework to develop our campus in Johannesburg to create a truly 21st century learning environment, supporting our long-term strategic vision.

REFINING OUR PROGRAM

We launched our Catalyst Term ProgramOver the past year, we launched the Catalyst Term at African Leadership Academy. Catalyst Term is a study abroad experience for up to a full academic year for students from around the world to develop as catalysts of positive social change.

We launched our curriculum sharing and school advisory servicesThis year, we successfully refined and released the first version of our curriculum sharing and school advisory services, allowing us to scale the impact of our model and curriculum across the continent and world.

Career opportunities for ALA GraduatesWe continued to refine our career matching and placement offering to ALA graduates. Through our unique career and internship program, the Africa Careers Network, this year we placed ALA graduates in 212 internships and 48 jobs. 69% of job placements for ALA’s first 2 cohorts of university graduates are in Africa.

This was once again partly driven by the Global Scholars Program (GSP), our summer program offering. Since the last fiscal year, our GSP program revenue has nearly doubled.

Our ProgramsTwo Year Pre-University ProgramA two year pre-university program based on the Cambridge A Levels and ALA’s unique curricula in Entrepreneurial Leadership, African Studies and Writing and Rhetoric. ALA identifies young leaders between the ages of 16 and 19 from across the continent with demonstrated leadership potential, a passion for Africa, entrepreneurial spirit, and a track record of community service. After graduating, ALA continues to cultivate these leaders throughout their lives, in university and beyond, supporting their growth through access to internships and careers and connecting them to high-impact networks of people and capital that will empower them to create transformative change.

Global Scholars Program (GSP)A three-week, global leadership summer program for teens aged 15-19. Built around ALA’s unique Entrepreneurial Leadership and African Studies curriculum, GSP prepares future leaders to explore their potential to create widespread change in Africa and around the world. Participants practice leadership by working in social ventures in the Johannesburg community, learn from chats with prominent entrepreneurial leaders in South Africa, build a global network with other young leaders from around the world, and discover the history, beauty, and diversity of Africa.

Catalyst TermA study abroad experience for secondary school students from around the world to develop as social innovators. Catalyst Term participants join ALA’s community of over 200 young African leaders and its international faculty at ALA’s boarding school in Johannesburg, South Africa. Through immersion in ALA’s Entrepreneurial Leadership curriculum and studying side-by-side with ALA’s young leaders, Catalyst Term participants develop as Catalysts for social change.

Africa Careers NetworkAfrica Careers Network (ACN) is a platform that connects young African talent from ALA and The MasterCard Foundation Scholars Program to high-impact internship and job opportunities across the African continent. ACN seeks to build relationships with a wide range of organizations that offer meaningful professional development opportunities to its young leaders in the form of internships and careers. ACN users form a community of talented young people who are committed to contributing to the overall development of the African continent.

Anzisha ProgramAfrica’s premier award for young entrepreneurs aged 15-22, who have started and are actively running innovative social ventures or for-profit businesses. The Anzisha Prize seeks to recognize young entrepreneurs who have developed and implemented innovative solutions to social challenges or started successful businesses within their communities. 12 finalists from across Africa win an all-expenses paid trip to South Africa to be a part of a week-long entrepreneurship workshop and conference at the African Leadership Academy. The grand prize winners, selected from these finalists, will share prizes worth $75,000 USD and receive ongoing programmatic support to bolster their ventures, and strengthen the pan-African youth entrepreneurial ecosystem.



Get Involved

A powerful way to develop future leadership for Africa is to directly invest in the leaders themselves – by providing sponsorships for students from disadvantaged communities to attend ALA. ALA admits students on a need-blind basis and almost all students require some form of financial aid to attend the Academy.

Add your personal footprint to the legacy of ALA by funding a room, hall, wing or building to be named in your honor as we expand and refurbish our campus for the next generation of Africa’s leaders.

Twenty percent of the young leaders at ALA are brought to our attention by community members who nominate them. You may know a young leader between the ages of 16-19 years who has shown leadership potential in your community.

PARTNER WITH OUR CAREERS AND INTERNSHIP PROGRAM



A cornerstone of the ALA experience is the Student Enterprise Program which sees ALA students running businesses or non-profit organizations for a full year, providing them with hands-on training in leadership, entrepreneurship and management and preparing them to pursue leadership and entrepreneurial opportunities on the continent.

To achieve our mission of developing the next generation of African leaders, ALA has attracted a diverse “staffulty” (staff and faculty) of global change makers: world-class professionals who share our values and passion for Africa and her youth.

JOIN A STUDENT ENTERPRISE BOARD JOIN OUR TEAM

Most of the young leaders from ALA decide to pursue university or gap year studies in either North America or Europe after graduating from the Academy. Graduate Hosts play an important role in this transition to life after ALA.

HOST AN ALA EVENT

As part of our lifelong engagement model, ALA supports our graduates attending university and working abroad through a variety of events throughout the year including conferences, regional reunions and supporter events. We are able to keep our ALA community connected with the help of our dedicated supporters, Graduate Host Families, and regional Chapters in the U.S.

The GSP Educator Program provides the opportunity for certified professional development in the emerging field of youth Entrepreneurial Leadership education. For educators, this program presents an opportunity to see a new model of learning within residential programs. Those who join us will become part of our BUILD certified educators, helping to create an unforgettable experience for students who join our Global Scholars Program.

JOIN OUR EDUCATOR PROGRAMBECOME A HOST FAMILY TO GRADUATES

ALA’s Executive Seminars are intimate workshops with a small group of interested students that cover specialized subjects. Seminars provide students with the opportunity to learn from thought leaders who have profound impact across different sectors and industries in Africa and the world.
