Thank you for your interest in applying to the Emerging Leaders for Change Program for East Africa, Women Deliver's new program designed to support emerging leaders in SRHR and Gender Equality in the East Africa region. East Africa will be the first cohort of this new program, with different regions being added in the future.
Specifically, those living in these countries are eligible to apply: Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda.
- You do not need to be a citizen of the countries or from these countries. You just need to live and conduct your advocacy in these countries.
- Special Exception: If you do not live in one of these countries (but your advocacy work is still targeting any of these countries) because it is unsafe for you to reside there while conducting your advocacy work, you are eligible for this program. If this is the case, you will be required to explain your situation.
- Example: You are an advocate for LGBTQIA+ rights in one of the eligible countries, but live in South Africa since it has become unsafe for you to live in eligible country while doing this work.
