LEAD ACADEMY — **Lead Africa International Academy 2021**.

The applicants would be selected from across different categories for equal opportunities and representation to be possible and successful applicants will receive a daily stipend of €40.

The Lead Academy 2021 initiative pursues two distinct but inter-twined goals. First, it aims at charting a new course of thinking among the focus group of the 2021 Academy on the maintenance of economic relevance and capacity development in a (post) Covid environment. It also seeks to provide a counter-narrative to the body of knowledge that have, unfortunately but dominantly, framed the imagination of the black body in Europe.

The proposed dialogue of this Academy aims at producing a complimenting new body of knowledge targeted at addressing the following questions:

Clarify the impact and growth they seek to achieve as they pursue their vision and mission.
Communicate and socialise their vision to attract and retain talent, support and collaborations
Adapt and customise best practice leadership practices from African and European (with focus on German)
Design a well structured development plan with clear performance drivers and metrics to track progress.
