2024 FELLOWSHIP

Fellows of Ghana School on Internet Governance (GhanaSIG) 2024 announced

We are delighted to announce the successful completion of the 2024 GhanaSIG fellowship program (5th annual edition) by 47 outstanding participants, who have now earned the prestigious title of GhanaSIG Fellows – 2024 cohort. The Ghana School on Internet Governance (GhanaSIG) fellowship is a renowned program that equips participants with in-depth knowledge and expertise in internet governance.

The fellowship consists of two rigorous stages:

Stage 1 – Online Learning: Participants engaged in comprehensive online learning activities, including interactive modules, learning reflections, weekly presentations, and assessments. This stage provided a solid foundation for advanced learning and skill development in internet governance.

Stage 2 – Face-to-face Sessions: Only participants who successfully completed the online learning activities got invited to attend in-person sessions, featuring expert-led discussions, workshops, and networking opportunities.

After successfully completing both stages, 47 out of 53 selected participants have become fully fledged GhanaSIG Fellows. We congratulate these exceptional individuals on their achievement and proudly present the list of the 2024 GhanaSIG Fellows below:
