Throughout their 12-month tenure, the Fellows have the chance to cultivate both technical expertise and leadership acumen, all the while making direct contributions to research and the formulation of policies. An exceptional aspect of this program is the invaluable mentorship they receive from the leaders of the host organizations.
Upon completion of the program, Fellows become esteemed members of the Now Generation Network (NGN), through which they persist in offering their skills and perspectives to advance a better future for Africa.
