Dartmouth in Africa is an initiative designed to strengthen Dartmouth’s engagement across the African continent through purposeful collaboration and dialogue. The inaugural 2025 Summit brought together faculty, staff, alumni, and Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) fellows with government, industry, and higher education officials from across Africa to explore the intersections of global health, technology, diplomacy, and social entrepreneurship.

Guided by Dartmouth’s commitment for global learning, The John Sloan Dickey Center for International Understanding sponsored a track for YALI Fellows, connecting emerging African leaders with Dartmouth faculty and global practitioners to advance health, innovation, and democratic collaboration.
