Governance of the African Leadership Institute's Project Pakati is provided by a Youth Advisory Board. The Board's terms of reference are such that the position of co-chair runs for a six-month period only. Thereafter, the board co-chairs, together with the secretariat vote in a new set of co-chairs. This rotational arrangement has been put in place to allow the young leaders of the youth advisory board to be exposed to the experience of chairing a board and to leverage the experience for their growth and development.
The co-chairs will support each other to achieve the objectives of the project and it is up to them to decide how they will collaborate and delegate tasks between themselves. The newly elected board co-chairs, Erick Muzyamba and Ellen Sia Wongo, commenced their term in August 2019 replacing Maudo Jallow and Wadi Ben-Hirki.
You can see the lineup of the full board on Pakati's Youth Advisory Board page.
