What is the GHC Africa fellowship program?

Welcome to your leadership journey. The GHC Africa fellowship program is an exciting opportunity to build skills and gain experience with a high-impact health organization, but it’s also much more than that. It’s a year that will catalyze your personal and professional growth as a leader, placing you within a global and diverse network of bright, young, and committed health equity champions. It is – we hope – the beginning of the rest of your career working towards equitable health systems.


Participate in bespoke training.

The Africa fellowship program starts with one week of inspiring sessions with thought leaders, bonding with your cohort, and reflections on your role as a next gen global health leader. Trainings, coaching, and mentorship continue year-round!


Learn as you go.

You will adapt and innovate as you learn the needs of your placement organization, and work to add value and advance health equity. There will be highs and lows, and new learnings every day.


Become part of a supportive, dynamic global community.

GHC fellows and alumni span borders and boundaries of all kinds, but form a tight knit network united in the belief that health is a human right. Fellows are placed in pairs so there is always someone to turn to.


Build your resilience.

Transforming health systems is complex, difficult, and long-term work and you have to bring your whole self. So cultivating resilience, self-care, and empathy as an emerging leader is a core component of our curriculum.

Ideal applicants

GHC is looking for a diverse group of high-potential leaders from every sector and professional background who bring the skills necessary to address critical health systems gaps and who embody our key leadership practices:

Collaborative.

You value inclusion and collaboration across sectors, cultures, and borders of all kinds. You are ready to listen to and embrace others’ perspectives, even when they are different from your own.


Committed to learning.

You are willing to push yourself outside your comfort zone often (while practicing self-care). You are ready to approach a personally transformative year with integrity, humility, and self-reflection.


Inspiring and mobilizing.

You are ready to strengthen and use your voice — the most powerful tool for change that you have — in order to engage others, create space for critical conversation, and effect meaningful social change in global health.


Committed to social justice.

You are passionate about social justice in health and have both the patience and the motivation to engage in the hard, complex work of building just health systems.


Adaptive and innovative.

You are excited by a design-thinking approach to building a better world, creatively embracing problems and ready to embrace failure as learning.


Results-driven.

You bring your best self and are motivated to do the day-to-day work needed to bring about positive change in the global health equity movement.
