The Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation in partnership with Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford, has opened applications for the second class of its AIG Public Leaders Programme.
The call for applications, which opened on January 27, is targeted at leaders working in the public sector across Africa.
For the 2022 cycle of the programme, 100 shortlisted public servants in Africa will be awarded scholarships by the Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation.
Applicants are required to have a minimum of seven years of service in the public sector and occupy a directorate level position.
Chairman of Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede said the programme was to transform public sector delivery in Africa.
“One of the ways we do this is by building capacity in the public sector workforce. “With this programme, we are offering public servants across Africa a unique opportunity to access a world-class training programme to enhance their professional skill and leadership abilities and empower them to be more effective in their roles.
‘’It gives us enormous pleasure to be able to offer scholarships to exceptional public sector leaders committed to building a better Africa,” he said.
Dean of Blavatnik School of Government at the University of Oxford, Professor Ngaire Woods said: “We are delighted to see the AIG Public Leaders Programme run again after such a successful first year as part of our long-standing partnership with Aig-Imoukhuede Foundation…”
