The program aims at fostering capacity building and enhancing Ethical leadership qualities at the international system and particularly among the current and future generation African Leaders. The overall goal is to prepare future leaders and decision makers as well young leaders to acquire ethical tools and concepts to prepare themselves to face current and future challenges. The very importance of a dynamic and modern society requires both present and aspiring Leaders to be equipped with the necessary tools for understanding the complexity and interrelatedness of the different sectors in their society. The Center is at the forefront of creating an “African Future Leadership fellowship”, where emerging Leaders are gradually introduced to the ethics and values of responsibility, good governance, and entrepreneurial spiritedness in development. This concept does not claim to negate the traditional African institutional values and mechanisms, rather it explore the possibility of incorporating essential ideas of tradition into the evolving conditions of modernity for the articulation of the future.

This program is projected to encompass a series of conferences, dialogue forums, training workshops, young leader seminars and summer schools to be jointly organized between the WCGE and its Partners. It will comprise of participants from business, politics, academia, media and civil society. It focuses on conveying the central concepts of modern ethical thought and fostering entrepreneurial action. This program is currently being championed by the President of  Madagascar.
