This informs the public about the Lead(H)er Fellowship 2024 for African Females. Details about the Program are given below. YouLead Africa, Plan International MEESA and the African Union Office of the Youth Envoy are now calling for applications for the 3rd Cohort of Lead(H)er Fellowship for young women based in Eastern and Southern Africa.
Lead(H)er, which stands for “she is a leader”, is a Fellowship that was conceptualized with the aim of supporting young women in Africa by nurturing their skills, expertise and aspirations in the fields of Politics, Economics/Business and Peace and Security.
Program Details
The aim of the Fellowship is to provide a safe space for Young Women who haven’t been exposed much to regional and international opportunities while amplifying their impact at local and grassroots levels. In doing so, we believe that young women with a peculiar interest in political participation, economic governance, peace, and security will shape their contributions in these fields.
The third cohort is open for young women up to 25 years old and nationals/residents of the following countries: Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Malawi, Mozambique, Lesotho, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
The Third Cohort of Lead(H)er Fellowship is structured in 5 months, with the first module being held in person, and the second module will be virtual through a blending of online sessions and e-learning/self-paced modalities. These will be complemented by personal assignments, group work and readings to enrich the overall learning experience of the Fellows.
