The Women in Global Health Leadership Fellowship is a year-long program designed to advance the leadership skills of talented African women passionate about promoting gender equity within global health systems. The fellowship offers a comprehensive curriculum covering global health policy, leadership, knowledge translation, and mentorship skills. Experts deliver these through innovative lectures, case studies, role plays, workshops, discussion forums, and reflective exercises.
