This turning point event is within the framework of the LEAD Africa Fellowship Programme (LAFP) designed in 2009; piloted in two African locations in 2010 and rolled out across Africa in 2011.

LEAD Francophone Africa, one of the three Regional Member Programmes in LEAD Africa has achieved a ground breaking experience by organizing a Cohort training in partnership with a LEAD National Association, the first time this is happening in the history of LEAD. This turning point event is within the framework of the LEAD Africa Fellowship Programme (LAFP) designed in 2009; piloted in two African locations in 2010 and rolled out across Africa in 2011.

The first phase took place in Nigeria for LEAD Anglophone West Africa and Senegal for LEAD Francophone Africa in 2010 where each of these countries trained 40 Associates using the newly developed curriculum. The LAFP is currently training Cohort 16 Associates from Malawi, Tanzania, Nigeria, Senegal and Tchad. Based on their LEAD National Associations, LEAD Francophone Africa selected the LEAD Tchad National Association in 2011 to upscale the LAFP.
