Presenting the 2024 cohort of the Africa SDGs Mentorship Program with great pleasure is AIIDEV Africa. The purpose of this seven-month fellowship program is to train young professionals from Africa so they can support sustainable development back home.
The program’s goal is to provide the next generation of African leaders with the skills, knowledge, and networks needed to advance sustainable development across the continent. It is in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations.
The goal of the Africa SDGs Mentorship Program is to provide young African professionals with the skills necessary to spearhead sustainable development projects back home.
