Impact West Africa Fellowship Program | Fully Funded |

The fully funded Impact West Africa Fellowship program for 2024 is available to anybody globally, regardless of age, and is run in association with the Aspen Global Innovators group in Senegal, West Africa. This is a 12-month program with a hybrid style that consists of two in-person meetings in Senegal and virtual training and mentorship sessions. While spending ten to fifteen hours a month participating in online fellowship meetings, participants can carry on with their work in their home nations. The in-person sessions are slated for January/February 2025 and September 2024.

The global program’s fellows will participate in a range of forums, gatherings, and initiatives that will help them build relationships with funders, legislators, and stakeholders—all of which will increase the exposure and acknowledgment of their work. The fellowship offers a safe space where fellows can freely talk about difficulties, exchange ideas, and offer encouragement. Peer-to-peer engagement fosters a culture of learning, flexibility, and teamwork, enabling fellows to effectively tackle community concerns.

By workshops, seminars, curated content, and specialised curriculum, fellows can enhance their grasp of important global challenges, emerging trends, and creative solutions. This is made possible by participation in the global fellowship. With these resources and techniques at their disposal, fellows can promote fair improvements in development and health. They obtain entry to a worldwide network of over 300 innovators, specialists, and supporters who share the objectives of the Aspen Global Innovators Group.

Applications are invited from those in the following disciplines: education; health; economic empowerment; gender equity; sexual and reproductive rights; water; sanitation and hygiene; agriculture and climate; and other pertinent fields.

There is no participation cost for the Impact West Africa fellowship, which is completely financed. The hosting organization pays for the airfare for both of the meetings’ journeys to Senegal and offers complimentary lodging and meals while the meetings are in session. By providing a forum for networking, cooperation, and the investigation of partnership opportunities, this fellowship program promotes growth and development on a worldwide scale. Those who are interested are urged to apply as soon as possible to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity.
