Yaounde,
Cameroon—The national youth president of the National Union
for Democracy and Progress (NUDP) party, Ndansi Elvis Nukam is amongst 24
Cameroonian youth selected by the USA to participate in this year's Young
African Leaders Initiative/Mandela Washington Fellows Program (YALI/MWF).
The fellowship is the flagship programme of
President Barack Obama’s Young African Leaders Initiative and a key component
of his commitment to invest in the future of Africa.
The 2016 fellows selected from nine of the ten
regions of Cameroon will join the list of many other Cameroonians who have
benefited from the programme which began in 2014.
They will be posted to hosting colleges and
universities in the US in diverse disciplines for a six-week intensive
programme on academic excellence and leadership, focusing on business and
entrepreneurship, civic leadership, public management, and renewable energy.
Their stay in the US will culminate in a Presidential
Summit with the White House tenant in Washington, DC.
“Make the most of this opportunity, learn from the
contacts whom you will meet in Washington, D.C. and the academic institutions
you have been assigned to, and also offer the best representation for Cameroon,
teach the American people about Cameroonian values and about what makes this
nation, its cultural heritage, and potential special,” deputy chief of mission
at the US Embassy in Yaounde, Matthew D. Smith urged the fellows.
The White House developed the initiative in
recognition of the critical and increasing role young Africans were playing in
strengthening democratic institutions.
