The Africa Leadership Forum (ALF) is Africa�s premier civil society organization. The forum grew out of the need to assist in improving the capacity and competence of African leaders to tackle development challenges confronting Africa. The establishment of ALF was not fortuitous. It was in response to a number of pressing, challenges facing post-independence Africa. The motivation behind the setting up of ALF was the widespread and palpable crises of leadership and management across Africa. Part of ALF's mission is to develop leadership capacities in Africa in order to increase the productivity of major actors in government, parliament, business and civil society to create enabling conditions for the development of the continent in an environment of peace, stability and security.
