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.

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. To assist the Fellows with their participation, we will be covering the costs for the physical participation and assist with internet packages to facilitate their online engagement and the completion of related assignments. The following expression of interest serves as an opportunity to identify the Third Cohort of the Lead(H)er Fellowship. To be considered, please note that you should be a national of the eligible countries in Eastern and Southern Africa, and be aged up to 25 years old.
