The African Leadership Institute uses email to communicate on the nomination, application and selection process, as well as notify individuals of upcoming cohorts of the Tutu Leadership Programme. Unfortunately, too often because of the global issue of spam and phishing, emails from AFLI and this site may end up in your junk or spam folders or other folders filtering clutter. This is a loss to the programme if good candidates are not nominated, or if candidates who were nominated don't complete their application because they missed the deadline as a result of not seeing critical, time-sensitive emails.
To avert this please whitelist emails from AFLI and this site.

Filtering services
If you use an email filtering service like Boxbe, Mailbutler, Boomerang, etc., turn it off for the AFLI domain and this site. AFLI will not respond to notifications from sites like these.

Other
If you are receiving email at a corporate email address, contact your IT administrator to have them whitelist for you. However, note that should you be selected for a programme, we will require a personal email address with which to communicate with you for reasons of privacy and more specifically preventing third-party access to emails sent to you.
For interested candidates who are using email clients other than the ones listed above, please run a search on how to whitelist our domains to ensure you receive our emails.
