Emerging leaders in West Africa can now apply for the 2025 Acumen West Africa Fellows Programme, a six-month hybrid fellowship designed for social entrepreneurs committed to tackling poverty. This fully funded program seeks individuals in sectors such as education, agriculture, energy, and healthcare who are dedicated to creating positive change in their communities.

Program Overview:

  • Leadership Development: Fellows will engage in a blend of virtual and in-person learning experiences aimed at strengthening leadership and entrepreneurial skills.
  • Hybrid Structure: Participants will continue working in their current roles while participating in online sessions and regional in-person events, allowing them to apply their learnings directly to their ventures.
  • Focus on Social Impact: With support from Acumen, fellows will gain insights and tools tailored to addressing West Africa’s pressing challenges, from economic inequality to access to essential services.
