The fully funded, 12-month East Africa Leadership Journey is designed to provide talented mid-career women leaders in health with a safe space to explore their authentic leadership through vulnerability and reflection; an inclusive and diverse network that fosters a strong sense of belonging; tools, and strategies for enhancing their voice, presence, and influence – all the while being supported by a powerful group of peers, mentors, and coaches.
The program imparts contextualized tools and frameworks to address the individual, organizational, and societal challenges that women leaders in global health face today.
