OXCON’s Mohamed El Dahshan has been awarded the African Leadership Initiative’s prestigious Tutu Fellowship for the year 2018, in recognition of his work across the continent in supporting post-crisis recovery and economic development across the continent.
Named after its patron, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the Tutu Fellowship is one of Africa’s most prestigious leadership fellowships, welcoming an elite group of Africa’s highest potential young leaders, representing a wide range of sectors. The Programme has been designed specifically for African leaders in consultation with African faculty and advisors and with Oxford, whose famous tutorial style has been adopted. It provides participants with an intensive learning and broadening experience on the principles and application of leadership, and an opportunity to explore the issues and specific characteristics of leadership in Africa, as well as the global challenges and dimensions of an African leader.
The fellowship is awarded to high-potential individuals from across the continent of Africa who have demonstrated they have the potential to become the continent’s future leaders in their sphere of activity.
In parallel, he was also named, for the third consecutive year, as one of France’s Institut Choiseul’s Africa Future Economic Leaders who will play a major role in the continent’s economic development in the near future. The award ceremony will be held in Abidjan in May 2018.
Well-deserved, congratulations.
