Accountable leadership remains one of the biggest challenges to development in Africa. Leaders in Africa have not always responded effectively to the needs of the continent, but there is hope in the rising generation of youth who could play a critical role in building accountability for successful economic transformation, representation, and public service. But the question still remains are they ready to lead with accountability, responsively and responsibly? Are they prepared for the higher calling of leadership, are the values in place for selfless and effective leadership?
