MOREMI INITIATIVE FOR WOMEN’S LEADERSHIP IN AFRICA
CALL FOR APPLICATIONS - 2013 MILEAD FELLOWSHIP
Moremi Initiative for
Women's Leadership in Africa (Moremi Initiative) is pleased to announce its
annual call for applications for the 2013 Moremi Leadership Empowerment and
Development (MILEAD) Fellows Program.
The MILEAD Fellows
Program is a long-term leadership development program designed to identify,
develop and promote emerging young African Women leaders to attain and thrive
in leadership in their community and Africa as a whole. The program targets
dynamic young women interested in developing transformational leadership skills
that help them address issues facing women and girls across communities in Africa.
The MILEAD Program equips Fellows with the world class knowledge, skills,
values and networks they need to succeed as 21st century women
leaders. Applications are welcome from young African women ages19 – 25, living
in Africa and the Diaspora.
The MILEAD Fellowship
will be awarded to 25 outstanding young women who have exhibited leadership
potential in their community, organization, and/or profession. To be eligible
for the program, an applicant must be African, living on the continent or in
the Diaspora; agree to participate in all required activities
related to MILEAD – beginning with a three-week residential Summer Institute in
Ghana; and commit to a community change project. Specific requirements of the
program and related dates are outlined in the application package. Please
review program and application guidelines carefully, before completing your
application.
Please note that
this one year program is not a full-time fellowship. Selected candidates may
remain full time students or work full time for the program duration, except
during the 3–week summer institute. The 3-week summer institute is an intensive
and full-time residential program and all fellows will be required to attend.
The rest of the program involves community-based, online and other distance
activities.
We invite you to share
this application information with emerging young African women leaders who have
the passion and potential to help transform Africa.
