Directors’ message  

“Developing a critical mass of African leadership capability is the best investment for laying foundations for  accelerating economic development in the sub-Sahara region and beyond.

The NBF’s stated intent is to help tackle Africa’s leadership challenges in the private and public sectors and in civil society, on a pan-African basis.

The African Leadership Programme is a key vehicle to fast track this process.

Combining our strengths with GIBS, the leading provider of Executive Education in South Africa, will ensure that we make significant progress towards achieving our objective, within a realistic period of time.”

     Dr Reuel Khoza Chairman: NEPAD Business Foundation


“The African Leadership Programme is aimed at exposing high potential leaders, senior executives and managers
to local and pan-African best practice, with a focus on developing economies across both the private and public
sectors.

Rapidly increasing competition and challenging business environments are just a few of the issues facing African business. Present and future business leaders require skills of a depth and breadth that cannot be achieved through work experience alone. We believe that the African Leadership Programme will be instrumental in effectively
addressing this need.”
