From the last cohort
What participants said
“The match was not a networking coffee. We had a brief, a deadline, and a mentor who had taken the same ask through a cabinet paper.”
Kwame Mensah
Mentee · Cohort 2025 · Ghana
“Three mentees, one cadence, and Secretariat that actually noticed when a pair went quiet. That is what a managed programme looks like.”
Amara Okonkwo
Mentor · Cohort 2025 · Nigeria
“French-language support meant I did not have to translate my infrastructure checklist before we could work.”
Fatima Al-Hassan
Mentee · Cohort 2025 · Morocco
