“You must take full advantage of this remarkable opportunity” UNFPA Regional Director, Mabingue Ngom tells fellows during the inauguration of UNFPA Ghana’s Youth Leaders Fellowship Programme (YoLe) on the 7 November 2018 at the Accra International Conference Centre.
The inauguration of YoLe provided a befitting end to what was an activity-packed first day at the 2nd African Youth SDGs Summit, especially considering its focus on actionable policies and traceable implemented programs.
According to the Country Representative, Mr. Niyi Ojuolape, the YoLe Fellowship Programme was geared towards impacting the needed skills which young people needed to drive changes and impact society in a significant way. The programme which was preceded by months of intense research and wide consultations was geared towards providing mentorship, pairing the fellows with professionals who would in the course of one year, acquaint them with the rigour of youth engagements, gender mentorship, health innovation and sexual and reproductive rights. Further to this, the fellows would have the opportunity to develop their ICT skills with one of UNFPA’s implementing partner in the Fellowship, renowned Innovation Lab—Impact Hub Accra.
Following a widely advertised call for application and the receipt of applications that numbered in several hundreds, an examination and a rigorous interview was conducted in which sixteen (16) of the most qualified fellows were selected, namely:
- Abigail Ashun-Sarpy
- Akosua Agyepong
- Barbara Sika Kudjawu
- Bisola Olapade
- Derrick Botchway
- Dorcas Attah
- Evans Hedo
- Farida Latif
- Iduasam Patricia Iniworikabo
- Jean Philip Lawson
- Michael Nana Blankson
- Naa-Amy Wayne
- Rafsanjani Adams
- Sarah Boateng
- Samira Osman
- Theodora Nyamekya Yeboah
The Regional Director proceeded to advise the Fellows to consider the opportunity as an important experience which they must take full advantage of, and ensure a bright future for themselves and their communities, as the responsibility to make a successful enterprise out of such rare chance was now open to them.
Further, the Regional Director hailed the initiative as remarkably important to UNFPA’s objectives of leaving no one behind and do its best to build capacity among young people. Further, he thanked UNFPA Ghana for presenting young people with such great opportunity to attain growth and personal development. Each of the 16 fellows were called out of the stage and had congratulatory handshakes from the RD, and whom on that note declared the YoLe Ledership Programme for 2018/2019 officially inaugurated.
