Mentorship Programme

We will enroll scholars, researchers, healthcare professionals, activists and individuals interested in health, human rights and SRHR in the mentorship program, matching experienced advocates with early-career practitioners. This Mentorship Programme is a cross-border, blended practice initiative that offers a structured platform for mentorship between young and early-career African activists and practitioners and senior established practitioners in the fields of health, human rights and SRHR. The aim is to facilitate the sharing and transfer of knowledge, skills, learning and opportunities from the established experts to the young and junior generation. In this programme, mentees will be explicitly linked to mentors within the same specialty or mutual interest field. They will operate flexibly but systematically, blending virtual and physical interactions.

The Mentorship Programme is designed to invoke the creative thinking competencies of young and early-career actors, activists and practitioners while promoting Africentric values and approaches to health, human rights and SRHR challenges and opportunities.
