WHO IS THE MOST EXCEPTIONAL EMERGING AFRICAN WOMAN LEADER YOU KNOW?
The MILEAD Fellows Program, as a leading leadership initiative for Africa’s most promising emerging female leaders, strengthens their capacity to lead change, increases their impact, and connects them to change the status of women, and to transform Africa. We invite applications from exceptional young African women leaders for 2021 MILEAD fellowship.
The MILEAD Fellows Program is a long-term and paradigm-shifting leadership development program to identify, develop and promote a new generation of young African female leaders to attain and thrive in critical leadership across Africa. The program targets dynamic young women interested in developing transformational leadership skills that help them address issues facing women and girls, and their communities across Africa. The MILEAD Program equips Fellows with the world class knowledge, skills, values and support systems they need to succeed as 21st century women leaders. Applications are invited from young African women between 19 – 25 years of age, living in Africa or in the Diaspora.
The MILEAD Fellowship will be awarded to 25 outstanding young women who have exhibited leadership potential in their community, organization, and/or profession. To be eligible for the program, an applicant must be African, living on the continent or in the Diaspora; agree to participate in all required activities related to MILEAD – beginning with a three-week residential Summer Institute in Ghana; and commit to a community change project. Specific requirements of the program and related dates are outlined in the application package. Please review program and application guidelines carefully, before completing your application
Please note that this program is not a full-time fellowship. Selected candidates may remain full time students or work full time for the program duration, except during the 3–week summer institute.
