The Anzisha Prize is managed by the African Leadership Academy’s Centre for Entrepreneurial Leadership, which was established through a multi-year partnership with The MasterCard Foundation. Through the Anzisha Prize, the organizers seek to enhance innovation and entrepreneurship among the creative young minds of Africa.
Each year, ALA brings together the most promising young leaders from all 54 African nations for a pre-university program in South Africa with a focus on leadership, entrepreneurship and African studies. ALA continues to enrich these leaders throughout their lives by providing ongoing training and connections to networks of people and capital that can make an enormous change.
