How is ZIS different from other initiatives that aim to develop leaders for Africa?
ZIS has a focus on the youth across Zambia, the ‘real Africa’ and the region, while most high-powered leadership initiatives in Africa are working with adults and/or are based in large urban areas. ZIS is the only institution in Africa taking such a long-term, approach to developing Ethical African leaders in a rural environment . We are bringing best practice in ethical leadership, social enterprise, sustainable development and African studies to our students and teaching it in a unique manner that will truly prepare students for a lifetime of leadership on the continent. ZIS will assemble a broad network of individuals, including alumni, mentors, guest speakers, and corporate partners from all over the world. The ZIS network will form the support structure for our young leaders and thereby enhance their chances of success.
