What RTLA Believes
As young leaders emerge across Africa, the need to create a more inclusive social contract (the constitution) for their nations which promotes human rights, democracy and social cohesion has never been more crucial than now. We believe a 200-year-plus (The US) surviving constitution is worth learning a thing or two from. We do not believe any one constitution is perfect and is the best for every situation, but our core belief in constitutional democracy is what makes the US Constitution a worthwhile study for emerging young leaders across Africa
What We Do
We at RTLA will constantly continue to work with private and public institutions to organize activities and promote researches that support youth economic development and opportunities. Our DOERS Hangout, Employability Skills Training & Enterprise Development projects serve to open up young people to skills and opportunities for growth
