The deadline for submissions is July 31, 2026. Early applications are encouraged as slots may be limited and selection will be competitive based on merit and potential impact.
Strategic Importance
This training program comes at a critical time as Africa seeks to harness its youthful population, the youngest in the world, to address challenges such as unemployment, climate change, digital transformation, and gender equality while capitalising on opportunities in trade (AfCFTA), technology, and entrepreneurship.
ImpactHER’s partnership with the African Union brings additional focus on women’s empowerment and inclusive growth, ensuring the program contributes to broader goals of equality and sustainable development.
