One Young World West & Central Africa Partners with Top100 Africa Future Leaders
At the heart of both One Young World and Top100 Africa Future Leaders lies a shared belief: young people are not just the leaders of tomorrow - they are the leaders of today.
We are proud to announce a strategic partnership with the One Young World West and Central Africa ambassador community. This collaboration amplifies youth voices, expands opportunities, and connects African changemakers to a global stage.
Why This Matters
Top100 was created to identify, celebrate, and empower Africa's brightest undergraduates and young professionals. Since our 2024 Empowerment Summit, we have profiled over 400 awardees, launched Project100 Scholarship, and built platforms like Talk100 Live and the Opportunities Hub.
One Young World convenes thousands of young leaders alongside heads of state, CEOs, and humanitarians each year. By joining forces, we ensure the brilliance of African youth is celebrated locally and projected globally.
What the Partnership Delivers
Amplified voices across the OYW ambassador network.
A richer pipeline of fellowships, scholarships, and global events.
Co-hosted dialogues that link Talk100 Live with OYW-led programmes.
Mentorship bridges between awardees, Project100 scholars, and OYW ambassadors.
Stronger representation of West and Central African youth on the OYW global stage.
This partnership is about connecting Africa's future leaders with a global ecosystem. Our awardees deserve to be seen not only in their local communities but across the world. - Nwosu Paul Light, Founder, Top100 Africa Future Leaders.
The OYW ambassador network in West and Central Africa is committed to ensuring that young voices are heard in decision-making spaces. Partnering with Top100 is a natural step to scale this mission. - OYW West and Central Africa Leadership.
