About this opportunity
The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in Senegal is seeking input from Higher Education Institutions for its Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) Activity. The objective is to establish a high-quality, context-specific leadership training program managed by a locally-led entity that will empower francophone African youth to drive economic, political, and social development across their countries and the African continent. The program will focus on three primary areas: business management and entrepreneurship, public management, and civic leadership, targeting young leaders from 22 countries. USAID is requesting capability statements and feedback through a Request for Information (RFI) with responses due by February 14, 2025, at 5:00 PM local time. Submissions must be electronically submitted to Dakarusaidedusolicitations@usaid.gov in English or French, limited to 8 pages (3 pages for technical responses and 5 pages for organizational capabilities).
The YALI Activity is not set aside for any specific group and will be based at the Regional Leadership Center in Dakar, which will serve as the main francophone hub covering countries including Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo, Cote d'Ivoire, Senegal, Seychelles, and Togo. The program is planned to run from December 2025 to November 2030, with a focus on developing sustainable leadership development initiatives. While specific award values are not disclosed, the RFI indicates this is a preliminary information-gathering stage and does not constitute a formal solicitation or guarantee of future contract awards. The initiative aims to scale youth leadership development, establish an effective YALI Africa organization, and increase alumni impact across regions. Interested institutions are encouraged to provide detailed insights into potential implementation approaches and organizational capabilities to support this leadership development program.
