We’re proud to unveil the 2024 cohort of the AMALI City Leadership Programme – a gathering of forward-thinking city leaders poised for a transformative journey.

Today, the African Mayoral Leadership Initiative (AMALI) unveiled its plans to catalyse the transformation of cities across the continent. The initiative will provide exclusive, tailored support to African city leaders, drawing on the insights and experience of a distinguished group of coaches including former heads of state, government ministers, and mayors with a legacy of transformation.
