Mandela Rhodes Leadership Development Programmes

The Mandela Rhodes Foundation strategy plan envisages six interlinked leadership development programmes, to be rolled out over time and according to availability of resources, both human and financial.

The Mandela Rhodes Scholarships were prioritised as the flagship programme, and the Mandela Rhodes Partnerships and Mandela Rhodes Endorsements were brought into being in pilot form.

It is intended that the Mandela Rhodes Fellowships be developed as a second flagship programme, and preliminary discussions and planning have been taking place since 2004. The Trustees of The Mandela Rhodes Foundation will, at their Board meeting in 2006, consider a timetable for the development of this leadership training programme.

The remaining programmes, the Mandela Rhodes Volunteers programme and the Mandela Rhodes Circles of History programme, have not been activated, but it is hoped that preliminary planning can begin in the course of 2006.

Together, these leadership development programmes aim to unlock and develop the hidden leadership potential that exists on the African continent to ensure effective leadership and a prosperous future for Africa.

The Mandela Rhodes leadership training programmes are structured in such a way that they may complement one another and maximize effectiveness of every each.
