Moremi Initiative for Women's
Leadership in Africa (Moremi Initiative) is pleased to announce its annual call
for applications for the 2014 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 between 19 – 25 years of age, 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 African women leaders in your network who
have the passion and potential to help transform the continent.
