“Beyond the statistics of Forcibly Displaced Persons are real people: visionaries, problem-solvers, and innovators, who only need access and opportunity to rebuild their lives with dignity.”
Isaac Kwaku Fokuo
Curator, Amahoro Coalition
Amahoro Coalition Fellowship empowers exceptional individuals with lived experience as Forcibly Displaced Persons (FDPs), equipping them to drive bold, transformative change.
The 12-month program gives FDP leaders a platform to cultivate and disseminate their ideas on the world stage, expand their networks, seize numerous professional opportunities, and unite as a collaborative and impactful cohort. Collaboration and creation of this magnitude are exactly what the world needs to create lasting change.
The Fellows are equipped to utilize their voices, skills, expertise, and innovations to catalyze solutions in Africa and globally.

About The Fellowship Program
Elements of the Fellowship Program
From industry connections and expert mentorship to targeted funding of up to $155,000, the Amahoro Fellowship empowers FDP leaders to drive real change and scale their impact.
Our Fellowship program nurtures thought leaders in Africa, providing a platform to create and publish content that showcases their ideas and perspectives. Fellows may also be invited to attend and speak at our Africa Private Sector Refugee Forum.
We believe in the potential of our fellows’ ventures and leadership development. As part of our program, fellows can compete for targeted funding of up to $100,000 USD. This investment is specifically designed to fuel their projects, amplifying their impact and driving sustainable change.
Fellows will be part of a global cohort of leaders positively impacting the world. Amahoro Fellowship creates deliberate networking opportunities, connecting fellows with industry experts and peers. This invaluable network equips fellows with the knowledge and insights to tackle complex challenges effectively.
To foster growth and personal development, our fellows benefit from mentorship and coaching at both individual and group levels. They are paired with industry professionals who bring valuable expertise and guidance, supporting fellows as they navigate their leadership journey. This tailored mentorship and coaching empower fellows to unleash their full potential.
This program is generously supported by Mastercard Foundation, Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), and other partners.
