(Togo First) - Application to the upcoming Mandela Washington Fellowship was launched last week and will close on October 9, 2019.
This year, just like the previous one, 700 Africans will travel to the US in the summer of 2020 for six weeks. In the trip’s framework, beneficiaries will get theoretical and practical training on the three following themes: Business and Entrepreneurship, Civic Engagement, and Public Administration.
The fellowship aims at enabling young Africans to boost their leadership skills, in their community and respective domain of activity. They will also have the opportunity to explore a new environment, hence gaining more expertise. At the initiative’s pinnacle is a global summit held in Washington D.C.
Last year, 10 young Togolese were selected for the fellowship.
