The program began with a series of high-level forums, such as the Obama Forum with Young African Leaders in August 2010, the Pioneering Young African Women Forum in June 2011, and the Innovation and Partnership for Mentoring Young African Leaders in June 2012, in addition to the roughly 2000 youth events that took place at US embassies throughout Africa.
