[kictanet] YALI Design Challenge

[Gakiria]

Dear Listers,



Greetings from Young African Leaders Initiative Regional Leadership
Center for East Africa. (YALI RLC)



The Young African Leaders Initiative <http://www.yali.state.gov/> (YALI)
was launched as a signature effort to invest in the next generation of
African leaders through Regional Leadership Centers (RLCs). There are three
other RLCs across the continent in Ghana, Senegal and South Africa.  All
the Centers provide training in three distinct tracks - (1) Business &
Entrepreneurship, (2) Civic Leadership and (3) Public Management.



Nairobi hosts the YALI RLC in East Africa and works with young leaders from
14 East and Central African countries.



As part of our program, participants from the 14 countries around East and
Central Africa work on a project that solves a challenge or problem that is
provided to them by an innovative organization that is challenging the
status quo in their particular sector. We call this a *Design Challenge*.

Typically it involves a problem statement from an organization that allows
the participants to go out into the field and interview
potential clients/stakeholders and then come up with possible solutions.



We are inviting you to come on board and provide our participants with a
Design Challenge - an opportunity to apply the tools they learn to come up
with a solution to some of the areas of difficulty or areas where you would
like a fresh perspective and new insight not only from a Kenyan perspective
but from a greater East, Central and Horn of Africa perspective.


Attached find a guiding document that will assist you in structuring your
presentation and coming up with a design challenge based on the unique
needs of your organization.



Please feel free to get back to me in case of any query or clarification.
You are also welcome to visit our center at Kenyatta University for further
consultations as you prepare your design challenge.



Kindly note that there is NO financial implication for presenting a design
challenge to our participants.



Best Regards

--
