Applications are open for the Emerging Public Leaders of Ghana Program 2026. This flagship program is a one-year program for young professionals to become more effective leaders and prepare them for entry into the public sector. Now in the seventh year of operations, the network of young fellows and alumni across Ghana’s civil service continues to grow and achieve positive impact for communities across the country.
The program has provided 175 fellows (46% women) a secure career pathway into the wider public sector, including public service institutions and policy-facing Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), and built a critical mass of young people who are influencing government directly and indirectly as duty-bearers in public service agencies.
