Initiative) hereby announces its annual call for applications for the 2017
MILEAD [Moremi Initiative Leadership Empowerment and Development] Fellows
Program- to identify Africa’s most outstanding emerging women
leaders.
The MILEAD Fellows Program is a long-term leadership development
program designed to identify, develop and promote emerging young African female
leaders to attain and thrive in leadership in their communities 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 invited
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

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
