Innocent Chukwuma African NGO Leadership Transition Fellowship Programme (ICLTFP) 2023 (Stipend of $3,000)

Deadline: November 11, 2022

Applications are open for the Innocent Chukwuma African NGO Leadership Transition Fellowship Programme (ICLTFP) 2023. The Africa Leadership Transition Fellowship Programme (LFTP) started due to the recognition of the urgent need for an NGO leadership transition programme to aid sector leaders – civil society and NGO leaders – who are considering transitioning out of their positions in creating a supportive infrastructure.

The programme’s chief purpose is thus to help sector leaders prepare and position their NGOs to be sustainable, vibrant, and continue to thrive after their exit from the organisation. It would enable both the leaders and organisations successfully make the shift, and in so doing create spaces for a new generation of leaders in the social sector to not only emerge but also have platforms to apply their creative and youthful energies. Transitioning leaders would develop succession plans within their own organisations, contemplate their personal transition plans, and preserve their knowledge and experience

The objectives of the ICLTFP are to:

• Contribute to the process of establishing a supportive infrastructure for leadership transition within the NGO/CSO movement in Africa.
• Promote the creation of leadership spaces for the next generation of leaders in African civil society to grow and strive.
• Increase the documentation of leadership experiences/reflections and renewal…
