The One Million Leaders (OML) program is a flagship program of NELIS – Next Leaders’ Initiative for Sustainability. It is initiated in four regions of the world: Africa, Asia, Latin America and MENA (Middle East & North Africa). The aim is to train and empower one million nexgen leaders and social innovators in each of the regions of the world by 2030.

They receive a two-month intensive training in aspects such as Transformative Leadership, Sustainability, Social Innovation, and Social Entrepreneurship. They will empower younger leaders in their communities and do social projects in a yearlong journey of Fellowship.
