Why Join?
The East Africa Fellows Program is creating a unique opportunity for East Africans to receive world-class business training, leadership development, and mentorship. Other benefits of the program include:
- High-quality training in leadership and social development from influential leaders across sectors
- The tools necessary to accelerate projects with large social impact
- Access to a network of African and global leaders who are developing innovative solutions to poverty
- The opportunity to build the communication and execution skills necessary to create lasting change
- The chance to design and participate in a regional trip
Accelerate your impact
One of the highlights of the program is the support that Fellows receive to refine and scale their own projects with large social impact. The leadership and execution skills developed over the course of the year are meant to augment each Fellow’s ability to advance their initiatives. In addition, Fellows receive continual guidance from experienced mentors and trainers to help with strategy and problem solving.
Expenses
All program-related expenses are covered for Fellows, including all lodging, food, and transportation associated with trainings, the regional/global trip, and the innovation conference. Since Fellows will be remaining in their jobs, they will not receive a stipend or insurance.
