As a partner, Mr. Obama is expected to help advance the NBA’s social responsibility programmes.
In Africa, NBA has introduced programmes targeted at improving the livelihoods of young Africans while raising awareness on gender-based violence and promoting girls’ education.
Mr. Obama is to use his partnership to fund his foundation’s youth and leadership programmes across the continent.
