Acumen East African Fellows Programme

• 

Kenya

Description

Acumen was founded in 2001 to change the way the world tackles poverty and solve some of the world’s toughest problems by investing in companies, leaders and ideas. Over the last decade, Acumen’s Global and Regional Fellows Programs have built a pipeline of 422 leaders who understand what it takes to create change in an interconnected world. In East Africa alone, Acumen has trained 134 emerging leaders. These are leaders who challenge the status quo, who work across borders and boundaries, and who inspire their communities to believe in and work for a brighter future where every person has the freedom to create a life based on dignity, not dependence. Through this program Acumen has developed and honed a world-class leadership curriculum for individuals working in social ventures of all kinds, including non-profit, for-profit, government and NGOs.
