Alumni Network
Our growing network of Alumni in Liberia, Ghana, Kenya, and soon Malawi is making an impact across government and civil society. As cohorts transition from Fellows to Alumni, our commitment to support their unfolding leadership journeys remains strong. We are investing in fostering Alumni engagement among countries and regions, and sharing experiences and learning as aspirational young professionals working within governments.
