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.
