Bridge Africa supports young leaders in Mali

Bridge Africa supported the Leadership Academy 2025 in Mali, with contribution of School of Collective Intelligence, as part of University Mohammed VI Polytechnic’s commitment to advancing social impact across Africa.

Held over one week, the program brought together 100 young leaders from eight regions of Mali, equipping them with the tools to become active contributors to local development. A key innovation of this edition was a hands-on introduction to collective intelligence and strategic project leadership, delivered by Lex Paulson on behalf of the Bridge Africa program. The initiative was sponsored by UM6P in support of Mr. Abdoulaye Yaro, a member of the Bridge Africa network.

This collaboration reflects UM6P’s broader mission to foster youth empowerment, regional leadership, and knowledge-sharing across the continent.
