Africa SDGs Mentorship Programme
AIIDEV Africa is pleased to introduce the 2024 cohort of the Africa SDGs Mentorship Programme, a seven-month unique fellowship that seeks to provide mentorship to young African professionals to enable them to become champions of sustainable development in their respective countries.
The goal of the Africa SDGs Mentorship Programme is to equip young African professionals to become champions of sustainable development in their respective countries. The programme is in line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and aims to empower the next generation of African leaders with the skills, knowledge, and networks needed to drive sustainable development across the continent.
The Africa SDGs Mentorship Programme aims to address the gap in mentorship opportunities for young professionals in Africa, particularly those who are passionate about sustainable development. The Mentorship programme is justified by the need to build the capacity of young professionals in Africa and provide them with the necessary support to become leaders in their fields. By pairing young professionals with experienced mentors, the fellowship programme will help to address the skills gap and build a new generation of leaders who are equipped with the skills, knowledge, and support needed to contribute to the achievement of the SDGs in Africa.
