A NETWORK OF INFLUENCERS reaching into the remotest areas of Africa
The EMIT strategy is unique, and IT WORKS! We developed an indigenous curriculum for leaders within different spheres of influence. Our material encompasses three main areas:
- Spiritual and character development
- Leadership development
- Professional Skills development
Understanding that all leaders have influence is the foundation of the EMIT strategy. All leaders can inspire others to action and change.
The indigenous leader is at the center of the solution for the problems of Africa. Africa doesn’t need charity - she needs quality leaders.
EMIT was birthed in Africa by Africans. More than 90% of our training faculty is African - our teachers understand the continent and its people. They teach from personal experience.
Africa is rising. To an outside observer, the change may seem slow, but to us on the ground, it is becoming continuously more and more evident that something radical is happening. This change that we initiated has a life of its own. We are picking up speed! Africa is rewriting her narrative as the continent of opportunity.
The EMIT curriculum has been developed over almost 30 years by Africans. It demonstrates an understanding of the African culture, people and challenges. We approach these with clarity and wisdom. The curriculum addresses the complete person by focussing on spiritual, character, leadership and skills development.
EMIT students are required to multiply themselves by enlisting at least ten other leaders and equipping them with the same training material. This multiplication-methodology impacts communities that would otherwise be far beyond the reach of conventional training institutions.
Change must come from within. We challenge our leaders to take responsibility to implement change and not become dependent on external support.
EMIT has trained over 530 000 leaders in 30 years. We are an established brand with a proven impact for change in communities across the continent.
EMIT has proven longevity in training leaders in Africa, giving us an advantage over others that have little or no knowledge of the continent, its culture, diversity, and challenges.
Longevity is a rare asset in a world and culture that rapidly and frequently changes. EMIT started its operations more than 30 years ago in Zambia and Malawi. Over the next 30 years it grew to the benchmark of training leaders on the continent. Currently operating in 17 African countries, EMIT reaches more than 23 000 leaders with its unique and culturally relevant curricula per year. Serving leaders from all spheres of society with skills needed to bring positive societal change, is at the core of EMIT’s vision.
With more than 530 000 leaders already exposed to the transformative training materials, EMIT is preparing itself to increase its impact to other spheres of society.
