Shaping the leaders who will reshape tomorrow
Our mission is to empower a new generation of ethical political and government leaders in Africa.
Applications for the Southern Africa Public Leadership Programme are now open.
Our Programmes
Futurelect delivers non-partisan leadership development and training programmes to diverse groups of ethical and innovative young leaders in Africa, in order to help prepare them for leadership roles in politics and the public service.
Southern Africa Public Leadership Programme
Futurelect’s flagship programme welcomes 25 to 30 fellows each year. Themes explored include public narrative, readiness to govern, public participation and political communication. A graduation ceremony is held at the culmination of the programme where fellows join an auspicious alumni of public leaders and civil society champions.
Women in Public Office, South Africa
This exciting development will use courses similar to that covered in the Southern Africa Public Leadership Programme, but with a specific focus on the South African context, and on women. What is the meaning of a female or feminist leadership style? How to negotiate in the public space while being female and how to debate gender-based policy issues?
East Africa Public Leadership Programme
Over the coming months and years, Futurelect will spearhead Apolitical Academy’s expansion and growth to serve the people of our continent by engaging and supporting a new generation of public leaders throughout Africa. Starting in the East African Community (EAC), we have begun an extensive programme of research and engagement with stakeholders in the region, with a view to having established an academy in East Africa by 2023.
Civic Education Programme
Futurelect is developing an online civic education portal available to members of the public, which will engage and empower the people of our countries to participate actively and consistently in the democratic life of our continent.

I am forever grateful for the knowledge that I gained from this programme and would certainly recommend it to other public servants. I was instilled with attributes that I will continue to use in my personal and public life moving forward.
