PfAL alumni perform a traditional dance during the 2016 forum in Kampala, Uganda
Each PfAL Forum provides a platform to discuss issues related to Africa’s development, to network, to review member achievements and impact and to set goals and identify opportunities for the year ahead.
The first Forum was held in Munyonyo, Uganda from 14-15 January 2016. Members from all cohorts gathered to discuss youth empowerment and how to promote African intellectualism. The Forum featured talks by speakers including Fadumo Dayib, Mbuvi Ngunze, Rapelang Rabana and Ali Mufuruki. PfAL members were also able to offer consultancy advice and to network with local NGOs including UNICEF, LEAP Africa and Farm Africa.

The second PfAL Forum took place from 6-8 September 2018 in Mombasa, Kenya. Building on the themes of the previous Forum, the 2018 edition sought to inspire, empower and connect PfAL’s emerging leaders to take on the biggest challenges in their communities, countries and continent. Organised under the theme ‘Working Together to Shape Our Future’, the Forum was designed to be a safe space for members to learn and reflect, and share practices and experiences. Its goal was to provide members with the skills they need to unleash their potential for impact and to learn in new and creative ways, working collaboratively to improve the quality of leadership and governance on the continent.
For those who were not able to join us in Mombasa, the Pfal team created an incredible video of highlights to give you a feeling of what it was like to be there.
