In line with its passion for Africa’s development through an emphasis on the continent’s youth, In On Africa (IOA) has created the African Leaders of Tomorrow (ALofT) Project, in collaboration with Henley Business School Africa.

The ALofT Project is a competitive, online-based youth development programme designed to cultivate future thought leaders by empowering African youths with a wide range of relevant knowledge, experience and skills.
