Past Fellows
The Ibrahim fellowship provided me with the unique opportunity to work closely with ECA leadership and staff to support countries design and implement policies in response to ongoing challenges and aspirations of member States. This practical, hands-on experience with an organisation at the centre of shaping Africa’s transformation refined my leadership, managerial and technical skills.
