Applications are now open for the 2025 Lead(H)er Fellowship. The tripartite partnership, YouLead Africa, Plan International and the African Union Office of the Youth Envoy, are delighted to launch the 4th cohort call for applications. This call for Expression of Interest services as an opportunity for young women leaders based in Eastern, Southern Africa, and the Middle East.
Lead(H)er stands for “she is a leader” and the Fellowship was conceptualized with the aim of supporting young women in Africa by nurturing their skills, expertise and aspirations in the fields of Politics, Economics/Business and Peace and Security. The aim of the Fellowship is to provide a safe space for Young Women who haven’t been exposed much to regional and international opportunities, while amplifying their impact at local and grassroots levels. In doing so, we believe that young women with a peculiar interest in political participation, economic governance and peace and security will shape their contribution in these fields.
