Citizens’ growing disillusionment with democracy is largely driven by the erosion of value-driven governance and public leadership. The African Leadership University, for instance, has evolved from a small pilot into a pan-African institution with more than 5,000 students representing over 40 nationalities. Similarly, the African School of Governance in Rwanda is positioning itself as a leading global institution in public administration. Nevertheless, the emergence of a new generation of educational institutions across Africa offers grounds for optimism. These institutions are not only transforming leadership on the continent but are also helping to cultivate the principled global leaders that the future demands.
