Africa Fellowship
Program Overview

After 15 transformative years and cultivating over 1,200 health equity leaders, we’ve decided to shift from our legacy placement-based fellowship model to a new Leadership Accelerator model in Africa. We’re excited about how this model will enable us to bring our curriculum, resources, and global network to reach more emerging leaders in more places.

To all the passionate applicants who were hoping to join the GHC community this year — thank you for all the time and energy spent on your inspiring applications. We know receiving this news now can feel discouraging, but we hope you’ll keep seeking opportunities to shine and grow as global health champions. And we’ll be looking to invest in many bright young leaders through our Leadership Accelerator, so stay tuned!
