The Aspen Global Innovators Group, in collaboration with Niyel, an international advocacy, public relations and campaigning company based in Senegal, has launched the Impact West Africa Fellowship programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This initiative aims to elevate the voices of leaders with close and lived experience, providing a fellowship experience that centres the expertise of West African leaders. The inaugural Impact Fellowships programme was launched in Senegal in 2023, opening up an exciting and unique pathway to develop a new generation of powerful African development advocates to advance Africa's own development priorities. This programme will highlight advocates from French- and English-speaking West African countries, highlighting key Francophone and Anglophone West African issues. Fellows will be individuals with a proven passion for advocacy and a solid track record in activities related to improving lives and influencing meaningful change across the West African region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Programme components<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Impact West Africa Fellowship programme equips the region's change agents with the skills and support they need to tackle common challenges affecting nearly half a billion people in the region's 17 countries. Each Impact Fellow will take part in an intensive 12-month journey to help them advance their individual advocacy goals. Throughout the year-long programme, fellows continue their professional commitments while receiving personalised mentoring, attending two immersive meetings and participating in quarterly online training sessions between meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main details of the programme include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2 one-week face-to-face meetings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quarterly virtual trainings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Professional mentoring support<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cost<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>There is no cost to participate in this programme.
