The African Leadership Academy (ALA) is a nonprofit educational institution in Johannesburg that aims to identify, develop, and connect Africa’s future leaders. It frames leadership as a key driver of Africa’s development and operates as a training ground for ethical, committed leaders, supported by a diverse staff and faculty. Operating within the nonprofit education sector, ALA works to prepare youth for leadership roles and to foster cross-border collaboration among Africa’s emerging leaders. The organization is based in Johannesburg, Gauteng, and maintains a workforce drawn from varied cultures to advance its mission. A notable recent development is a collaboration announced in 2026 to host the Global Dialogue Lab in Johannesburg in August, bringing together 65 educators from Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, the United States, and the United Kingdom for an eight-day program.
