Southern Africa Public Leadership Programme
Futurelect's flagship programme welcomes 25-30 fellows each year. Course content includes seminars, workshops, lectures and interactive learning opportunities at various locations across Southern Africa. 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.
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.
Women in Public Office, South Africa
This exciting development will use course similar to that covered in the SADC 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?
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.
