African
Leadership Council Mission Statement
Mombasa, 20 March 2004
Good leadership is a precious commodity. In order to achieve
that objective, the Kennedy School of Government, as a first
step in 2003, invited a group of distinguished and experienced
leaders of Africa to discuss what should be done to strengthen
and nurture leadership in Africa. Collectively, they include
former heads of state, heads of government, and cabinet ministers.
They decided that:
In order
to encourage high quality elected leadership in Africa, the
African Leadership Council shall:
- Assist
the African Union, NEPAD, the UN, individual countries,
and individual leaders, as requested, concerning leadership
best practices;
- Organize
capacity building for elected African leaders;
- Maintain
and update the Code of African Leadership;
- Organize
forums on and research about African leadership;
- Meet
regularly as a Council to review the state of African leadership
and make recommendations, as required.
The African
Leadership Council consists of its founding members, chaired
by President Sir Ketumile Masire of Botswana, and others—representing
all parts of Africa—who shall be invited to join.
