More About YALI Network:
The digital YALI Network was established as a public diplomacy tool to help the United States expand beyond the reach of in-person exchange programs. The Network shares online policy-based information by reaching, engaging, and mobilizing more diverse and wider audiences than traditional messaging alone. The Network’s public engagement campaigns promote U.S. policy goals in Africa, such as good governance, gender equality, women’s empowerment, and entrepreneurship to help young African leaders develop the skills and connections they need to become a positive force for change in their communities.
