The African Leadership Centre (ALC), based in Nairobi, Kenya, was established as an educational trust under Kenyan law in partnership with King’s College London and the University of Nairobi. One of its core programmes is the Peace and Security Fellowship for African Women, which brings together African women at the early stages of their careers, to undertake a carefully designed training programme in Leadership, Development and Security.
As part of the AWDF grant, 2 African women, Grace Kilonzi (Kenya) and Semiha Abdulmelik (Ethiopia), have been sponsored to participate in ALC’s 2014-2015 Peace and Security Fellowship programme. The programme, which takes place at the ALC and King’s College London, is designed to expose young professional African women to the complexities of conflict, security and development to equip them for careers in the field.
