Now you are eligible and good for the fellowship.
Fellowship Overview
Acumen invests in social entrepreneurs across the capital continuum and accompanies them on the journey to create transformational change. At Acumen Academy, we identify and prepare these leaders with the hard skills required to build scalable solutions to poverty and the harder skills of moral leadership to re-imagine and build a better world.
Our East Africa Acumen Fellowship is a transformative program that brings together a cohort of extraordinary individuals with an entrepreneurial mindset and a commitment to solve problems of poverty. We equip them with the tools and community to strengthen their leadership, scale their impact, and create meaningful change in East Africa.
Women and individuals who identify as or who serve Forcibly Displaced Persons (FDP) are encouraged to apply.
We offer a transformative leadership experience
Through the program curriculum and a supportive cohort, participants peel back notions of themselves as leaders and build greater self-awareness. They hone their skills to become better team leaders, authentic storytellers, and navigate values in tension. They leave the program with the ability to negotiate across differences, motivate themselves and others, challenge traditional ways of working, and reshape the people, organizations, and systems around them.
Here from Past Acumen Fellows \There’s incredible potential for the new way of leading, which questions how and why we lead. Being part of the community has been critical to my success both as a leader and a social entrepreneur. I have Co-Founded three social Enterprises with Acumen Fellows and hired the leadership team from the Fellows community. If it wasn’t for the Acumen network, I would not have met these incredible leaders who are reimagining leadership.
All three companies; Enlight Institute, Village Energy, and Flip Africa have all received technical and financial support from the Acumen community, which has been instrumental in their growth. \
