GHC’s Africa Leadership Accelerator is a 9-month, hybrid program designed to strengthen the leadership and management skills of early to mid-career health professionals, ages 21-35, with a focus on supporting majority-female cohorts given the persistent gender gap in global health leadership. The program fills a critical gap in Sub-Saharan Africa, where young professionals are passionate about driving progress in health abound.
