[Emmanuel Dennis]

FYI

 

I would like to make you aware of the “Afrika kommt!” fellowship program for which applications are currently accepted (Deadline: Feb 3^rd, 2017). The program is an initiative of the German industry for future leaders from Sub-Saharan Africa, however, for the 10^th anniversary edition 2017 two places have been made available for future leaders from the non-profit sector. It is a one year program which combines language and management training with an 8 month work experience at a German host institution. Robert Bosch Stiftung will be hosting  one of the non-profit fellows, the second placement will be with the Foundation for Development Cooperation, also located in Stuttgart.

 

Please spread the word in your network. They are looking for a future leader preferably from a EAC member country with a University degree (Master or equivalent) and at least two years of working experience in a non-for-profit organization or institution. Applicants must be below 35 years of age, female candidates are highly welcome and encouraged to apply.
