Programmes
YoungEd Africa programmes are designed to support young educators in 3 key thematic areas that we believe are critical to positioning them for the future.

Through our annual YoungEd Africa Fellowships, we provide scholarships and capacity building sponsorships towards professional development within various Education sector career tracks.

Internet & Data Systems

YoungEd Africa seeks to use innovative approaches to address issues around internet access costs as well as gaps in demographic data to support research and programme/policy considerations.
