Sierra Leonean human rights activist and development communications practitioner Makmid Kamara have been selected to participate in this year’s Leaders Africa program at the Obama Foundation.
Makmid took to his Twitter handle to share the good news and wrote;
”I’m so excited to share that I have been selected to participate in this year’s Leaders Africa program at the @ObamaFoundation.”
The 2023 Leaders Africa program will be a six-month, non-residential, virtual journey for 35 emerging leaders from across the continent.
The 2023 program will focus on honing leadership skills, building deep relationships with fellow leaders, and exploring how to drive, scale, and make sustainable change.
The virtual Leaders Africa program seeks to identify exceptional leaders in government, civil society, and the private sector.
Upon graduation, this group of Leaders will join a pan-African community of like-minded changemakers and will become part of the Obama Foundation community.
The program will run from February 2023 through July 2023.
Makmid Kamara is the director of the Africa Transitional Justice Legacy Fund, a grant-making organization based in Ghana that focuses on African transitional and reparative justice.
In this role, he supports survivor-led and community-based organizations in conflict and post-conflict countries to advance truth, justice, and accountability.
