We will enroll scholars, researchers, healthcare professionals, activists and individuals interested in health, human rights and SRH in the mentorship program, matching experienced advocates with early-career practitioners. This Mentorship Programme is a cross-border, blended practice initiative that offers a structured platform for mentorship between young and early-career African activists and practitioners and senior established practitioners in the fields of health, human rights and SRH. The aim is to facilitate the sharing and transfer of knowledge, skills, learning and opportunities from the established experts to the young and junior generation. In this programme, mentees will be explicitly linked to mentors within the same specialty or mutual interest field. They will operate flexibly but systematically, blending virtual and physical interactions.
Focus of the 2025 cohort
Mentees will be assigned to clusters aligned with their interests and backgrounds. Cross-cluster collaboration and peer learning will be encouraged to enrich understanding and leverage interdisciplinary strengths.
the Mentorship Programme is anchored on advancing reproductive justice through a multifaceted approach, moving beyond litigation and technological innovation to include research, curriculum development, and advocacy. Each focus area intentionally addresses urgent gaps created by restrictive policies like the GGR, equipping a new generation of reproductive justice actors with the knowledge, tools, and strategic capabilities to dismantle barriers and foster equitable access to reproductive healthcare and rights.
Structure of the Mentorship Programme
Mentors will play a vital role in guiding mentees through this complex landscape, helping them develop practical skills and produce impactful deliverables that challenge systemic injustices and amplify reproductive justice globally. The programme not only cultivates expertise in legal and technological innovation but also deepens understanding in evidence generation, curriculum development and design, and advocacy mobilisation, all critical for sustained progress towards reproductive justice in environments constrained by external political policies.
