H.E. Macky Sall, through the Macky Sall Foundation, has unveiled a bold new initiative titled “Africa: Leading from the Heart,” a program designed to spotlight and strengthen leadership values across the African continent. This groundbreaking effort emphasizes that Africa’s path to sustainable development depends not only on economic growth, but also on leadership rooted in compassion, vision, and service.
A Mission to Inspire and Guide
The initiative seeks to promote leadership principles that prioritize empathy, integrity, and inclusivity—qualities that are often overshadowed in discussions of political or economic strategy. By focusing on “leading from the heart,” the program highlights the need for leaders who balance strategic thinking with a genuine commitment to the well-being of their people.
Building a New Generation of Leaders
“Africa: Leading from the Heart” aims to identify and nurture future leaders from diverse backgrounds, including government, business, academia, and civil society. Training programs, mentorship opportunities, and regional forums will provide platforms for emerging leaders to collaborate and exchange ideas on pressing issues such as education, healthcare, technology, and environmental sustainability.
Driving Continental Progress
H.E. Macky Sall has long championed pan-African cooperation and development. With this initiative, the Macky Sall Foundation underscores that Africa’s growth must be driven by leaders who are both visionary and compassionate—leaders capable of uniting communities, fostering innovation, and ensuring equitable progress across the continent.
A Call to Action
By launching “Africa: Leading from the Heart,” the Macky Sall Foundation sends a powerful message: the future of Africa lies in leadership that values humanity as much as economic achievement. This initiative invites governments, private sector partners, and young changemakers to join a movement that celebrates and cultivates the kind of leadership Africa—and the world—urgently needs.
