The World Institute for Leadership and Management in Africa is incorporated in Washington, DC, on July 28.

On the first WILMA mission to Africa in November, Prof. Dunstan Wai, co-founder of WILMA, helps and encourages the former governor of the Central Bank of Kenya, Duncan Ndegwa, to prepare his memoirs on the early leadership of the Kenya Republic. As part of its strategy to create National Leadership Institutes as a tool for building indigenous capacity for developmental leadership, WILMA begins to make high-level contacts for this purpose in Kenya and Uganda.

WILMA finances the completion of a monograph by Dunstan Wai, The Clash of African-Arab Civilizations and the Struggle for Self-Determination in South Sudan.
