Our Impact – ALI–East Africa’s Values-Driven Leadership in Action
Transformative leadership for East Africa’s most pressing challenges
At ALI–East Africa, we believe leadership grounded in values, collaboration, and a commitment to the greater good can unlock sustainable progress across the region.
Our Theory of Change focuses on three levels:
Individual level
Fellows experience personal transformation—gaining clarity of purpose, deepening self-awareness, and strengthening their leadership capabilities. This directly shapes how they contribute in their organisations and civic roles.
Network level
We foster a collaborative network of leaders across East Africa. Fellows form partnerships, exchange ideas, and launch joint ventures that address regional challenges.
Societal level
Fellows lead or influence initiatives that improve social, economic, and governance outcomes. Their work results in real change—whether through policies, systems reform, or social entrepreneurship.
- Fellows mentoring new leaders in their communities
- Creation of new ventures and high-impact initiatives
- Influencing policies, institutions, and national discourse
- Deepened trust and cooperation across sectors
Over time, the alumni network of ALI–East Africa continues to shape a more equitable, resilient, and prosperous East Africa.
