ADDIS ABABA-The African Leadership Excellence Academy (AFLEX) said it has been working to support the vision of African integration through creating visionary leaders with nearly similar leadership attitude and competency.
Approached by The Ethiopian Herald, AFLEX President Zadig Abreha stated that the academy has been working to create a platform to support the vision of African integration through leadership development training. The training aims to bring shared growth and development in the continent.
“In a bid to realize African Solutions for African Problems, AFLEX has been exerting efforts to expand the training and other services to other African countries.”
African countries have a keen interest to work with the AFLEX to excel leadership development via different training services. In this regard, the academy is working to make this initiative come true, he added.
Zadig further noted that the academy has been seeking to train and nurture African revolutionary leaders to contribute to address continental problems. As a result, the effort requires partnership with African ambassadors residing in Addis Ababa and collaborating with other organizations.
“Now, we are promoting the AFLEX mission and approaching embassies and other organizations to promote our mission. We have already established strong partnerships with several institutions and there are ongoing talks and negotiations with several organizations to work together.”
Over the past two months, the academy has trained some 120 senior African leaders and it would assign the Vice President who would lead the Foreign Affairs Department from other African countries, out of Ethiopia.
Furthermore, the AFLEX finalized preparation to offer leadership development training for African women leaders drawn from each country (four from each country) to build women leaders capacity, the president remarked.
