Four-year fellowship
Two years of part-time leadership coursework, paired with a paid two-year embedded role inside an Agano hub or partner organisation.
Leadership Training
Training the people who will replace us.
Every hub Agano runs is destined to be handed over to local leadership. The Leadership Programme is how we make sure that handover succeeds — a four-year fellowship for programme alumni, training the next generation of African social-sector executives, social workers and field directors.

How the programme works on the ground.
Enterprise track
For fellows building social enterprises: seed funding, a 6-month residency in our Accra accelerator, and a network of African operators ready to advise.
Succession by design
Every country director and programme lead has named two alumni as their long-term succession candidates. Promotion is structural, not accidental.
Field story
"I was sponsored at twelve. I joined the fellowship at twenty-three. Today I run the Nakuru hub. The promise has come full circle — and now I'm finding the next one."
— Daniel Kibet, Hub Director · Nakuru, Kenya
