In partnership with universities, public and private organizations, our goal is to transform leadership. The current silo-ed approach to leadership development needs to be replaced with a systems approach. We assert that where things are not working, leadership is either dysfunctional or non-existent. The Africa Leadership Transformation Foundation stands for systems and transformative leadership capacity-building for women, youth, and the science and faith communities.
In 2021/22, we trained nearly 500 women in a 12-months period. Our goal is to train between 500 women annually. The African Women's Leadership and Mental Wellbeing Course is women-designed and women-led. It focuses on the five most urgent and critical areas of women's leadership: integrity, forgiveness, resilience, abuse of power and strategies for mental wellbeing.
Faith change-makers have been at the forefront of transforming the world for the common good. In Africa, faith change-makers are providing homes for abused women, taking care of orphans, training adults to read and write, and helping youth make a livelihood from their skills and talents. The Africa Leadership Transformation Foundation asserts that faith change-makers are needed now more than any other time in history. We are providing faith-inspired change-makers with leadership training, initially in Malawi and Zambia, but increasingly in the rest of the continent.
The Covid pandemic altered the context of conversations around climate transformation. On one hand, the early lockdowns resulted with tangible evidence of the negative effect of human activity on the environment. On the other hand, the pandemic revealed that new leadership was required to tackle the emerging challenges. The Africa Leadership Transformation Foundation designed and delivered the Zambia Climate Leadership Transformation Summit at the height of the pandemic in October 2020.
The Summit revealed the need to densify the interconnections between individuals and organizations in Zambia. In response, the African Leadership Transformation Foundation launched the InnoVuntu Initiative to strengthen and build transformative leadership to tackle existing and emerging climate-related challenges.
