Over the course of a year, Fellows remain in their jobs while taking part in five week-long seminars, where they receive the tools, training and space to innovate new ideas, accelerate their impact, build a strong network of social leaders from across their region and around the world.

Year 1

• Join a diverse cohort of social change leaders in a rigorous year-long experience
• Improve your capacity to innovate and drive change with a mix of in-person and online seminars
• Part-time — you stay in your job while participating in four 5-day seminars in various locations across West Africa

Beyond Year 1

• Be a part of a lifelong fellowship that extends beyond your first year
• Join a larger local and global community committed to a world beyond poverty and injustice

West Africa is home to some of the world’s fastest growing economies – yet it will require a different type of leadership to ensure that the fruits of this growth are felt by all. It will require leaders grounded in integrity, and relentless in their pursuit of equity and justice. The West Africa Fellowship will bring together entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs and organization-builders from both the public and private sectors who are modelling this leadership, and who are hungry to do more.

Duration of Fellowship:1 year
