Established in 2011, the partnership between the Forum of Young Global Leaders, the World Economic Forum, and the Aliko Dangote Foundation plays a crucial role in developing Africa's next-generation leaders. For over a decade, the Foundation's support has helped accelerate the impact of an annual class of Fellows who are working to bring lasting change to the continent and the world.
This year's cohort of Aliko Dangote Fellows includes nine young African leaders who are passionate about African issues. From healthcare reformers to female firsts trailblazing in governance, arts, and entertainment, the 2023 Fellows demonstrate the resilience, innovation, and determination of Africa's youth.
