The good news email was received with excitement at Gender-Environment and Development Action’s secretariat that was confirming our own Mr. Baluku Yosia as a member of the cohort 5 fellowship.
GE’DA, which means ‘Together Build’ is a 3 months intensive training that focuses on building the technical expertise, cross-cultural bridges and designing solutions to transform communities across Africa and building the Africa we want.
Mr. Yosia informed the secretariat that this program has already started and will run for the next 3 months where he will be connecting and networking with over seventy leading change advocates that were selected by Donors For Africa (DFA) the sponsors of this program from economic, political, arts, social change, media and Educational leaders drawn from close to 1,300 applications from over 30 African countries.
He further added that it was a very competitive process and therefore wasn’t taking it for granted being part of the 5th cohort for this program. Yosia said this program model is designed from a proven African technical curriculum that addresses the African continent’s unique challenges, opportunities, and needs while leveraging on global expertise and technology to drive positive social change.
Yosia thanked Donors For Africa for having considered him and the organisation to be part of this prestigious 3 months session and said it won’t leave him the same but rather improve his capacity of handling issues at Gender-Environment and Development to better serve the communities.
