What is Africa Matters Initiative (AMI): A youth-led organisation that aims to empower and upskill young Africans in order to change their communities & African narrative through leadership, social entrepreneurship, and advocacy.

The Africa Matter Ambassador Program (AMAP) tries to break the programmed curse affecting the future of Africa. AMAP is a 12-month virtual African leadership development program, during which successful applicants are provided with capacity development training, cross-continental networks, mentorship from industry leaders, and guided through the implementation of Community Engagement Projects (CEPs). The virtual program is followed by 6 months of comprehensive evaluation processes to assess CEP progress and examine program contributions to participants’ holistic development as active community change-makers. At the end of the program, AMAP Ambassadors emerge with a strong network of young African leaders, mentors, a certificate of participation, a scalable community-based project, and newly acquired skills.
