Each year, a diverse group of mid-career professionals will begin a journey to hone their leadership abilities through interactions with presidents and key presidential staff and administration officials.<br /> In ensuring that African leaders are conscious about creating such legacies that provide long term benefits to young people, the AfroChampions Initiative has created a program called the “Sankore Program”.<br /> Sankore Program connects ambitious young leaders from various professional backgrounds with respected African presidents, equips them with the skills and abilities to execute projects that the African leaders will uphold and promote as essential components of their legacy. Built on the foundation of the Caravan African model, the presidential projects will focus on areas such as, but not limited to, agro-industrialisation, digital transformation, rural tourism, innovation and leadership, etc. It will serve as an opportunity for young leaders to shadow iconic African presidents and learn from their leadership skills while building their own network.<br /> <h5>Sankore Fellowship Objectives</h5><br /><ul><li>To give an opportunity to ambitious young Africans to use their expertise, passion and energy to work with and support African presidents to create customised projects capable of creating the necessary conditions for large scale systems change in Africa. </li><li>To promote and build a strong pan-African ecosystem of African presidents that are focused on leading to create legacies.</li><li>To deepen the quality of formal collaboration among effective African presidents in a manner that transcends the short-term demands of electoral cycles and even diplomatic treaty-making.</li><li>To promote the conditions for</li></ul> <a href="https://optdolari.blogspot.com/2020/02/sankore-fellowship-program-2020-for.html">Sankore Fellowship Program 2020 for Young Leaders in Ghana</a>

Notable among these include the zoonotic diseases Coronavirus, Lassa Fever, Tuberculosis, and Rabies, etc., and other animal health diseases such as the Rinderpest in cattle, Swine flu in Pigs, Avian influenza in Poultry and Parvovirus in Dogs. As an added complication, our environmental sustainability is increasingly at risk with the realities of climate changes that include diminishing wildlife and poor conservation, droughts and flooding causing an increasing threat to food security, environmental pollution, poor agricultural practices, and incessant natural disasters. The inter-connectivity of these human, animal and environmental issues demands an urgent need for a holistic and cohesive approach to proffered sustainable solutions. One Health which “promotes multi-sectoral and trans-disciplinary collaborations to achieving optimal health outcomes between animals, humans, plants and their shared environment” has been verified as this sustainable approach. In Nigeria, the One Health approach is even more pertinent because of our failing systems in health and development and the seeming segregation of allied health professions which limits collaboration among professionals. In addition, the growing movement of One Health – though being touted globally is yet to receive the adequate and necessary attention and momentum in the general Nigerian public. Therefore, there is a need for widespread information, education and integrated advocacy on solving health and development issues through the One Health approach among related sectors and by extension, the general public.<br /> <strong>One Health and Development Initiative (OHDI)</strong><br /> One Health and Development Initiative (OHDI) is a nonprofit organization that works to promote news, education, advocacy and solutions to interrelated issues of animal, human and ecosystem health through an integrated One Health approach. Our work is rooted in the belief that public health issues are intertwined across animal, human and environmental ecosystems thereby requiring a holistic approach to effective and sustainable solutions. So, in implementing our various activities through social impact and health programs, media projects, advocacy, and research, the core values of “One <a href="https://optdolari.blogspot.com/2020/02/one-health-advocacy-and-mentorship-oham.html">One Health Advocacy and Mentorship (OHAM) Program 2020 for Students and Young Professionals</a>

In support of UN Security Council Resolution 2250 on Youth, Peace and Security, this partnership will create a space where constructive, intergenerational conversations can occur that begin to lessen the divides separating the work of youth leaders and more traditional leaders.<br /><br />The program will bring a group of youth peacebuilders to Dharamsala for two days of conversation with the Dalai Lama to discuss ways in which youth can partner with international leaders to build peace. Selected youth will come from some of the world’s most conflict-ridden areas.<br /><br />His Holiness the Dalai Lama<br />Few world leaders can understand the experience of youth peacebuilders as fully as His Holiness, who, at age 15, was thrust into the leadership of his people as they faced the traumas of war. Like some of the youth participants in this program, His Holiness fled his country as a refugee and has lived for years in exile.<br /><br />In Dharamsala, the youth leaders will share their experiences and will discuss with His Holiness ways in which youth leaders and world leaders can cooperatively build peace. The very engagement of youth with His Holiness will serve as a model for the youth on how to bridge intergenerational divides. The conversation in Dharamsala will provide a platform for greater international advocacy for youth priorities in peace and security and will expand the global impact of youth leaders.<br /><br /><br />Criteria to Apply<br />• Must reside and work in Afghanistan, Burma, Colombia, Iraq, Libya, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria (or of Syrian origin living and working in</div> <a href="https://plopandrew.blogspot.com/2020/02/usip-generation-change-youth-leaders.html">USIP Generation Change Youth Leaders’ Exchange with His Holiness the Dalai Lama 2020 (Fully-funded)</a>plopandrew.blogspot.com <a href="https://optdolari.blogspot.com/2020/02/usip-generation-change-youth-leaders.html">USIP Generation Change Youth Leaders’ Exchange with His Holiness the Dalai Lama 2020 (Fully-funded)</a>

The Regional Workshop will be the first science diplomacy workshop to be held in the Asia and the Pacific Region. This workshop will provide participants an insight into key contemporary international and regional science policy issues including global health, future studies, disaster risk reduction, and water management, among others, while intimating how science, technology, and innovation contribute to policy developments, global governance and sustainable development of communities around the world. Another focus of the workshop is to gain a better understanding of, and appreciation for, the roles that governments, academia, international organisations and the private sector play in addressing complex science-based issues and how different governance structures are developed to address the needs and involvement of these different stakeholders. Finally, the workshop will take stock of science diplomacy case studies and experiences in the various forms that they take in the region and build strong networks to foster the next generation of science diplomats in the region. This workshop will encourage active interaction among participants, speakers and facilitators as they develop ideas and strategies to enhance science diplomacy in the region.</div><h5>PARTICIPANTS</h5><div>The workshop is designed for young scientists (below the age of 40) living and working in</div><div>developing countries whose research and wider engagement has brought them into the</div><div>international policy-making arena, as well as policymakers and diplomats interested in some of the central science-based themes that might influence their work, and representatives from NGOs and other sectors working at the science-diplomacy interface.  Alumni will join a global network of young leaders and innovators reaching across borders to address societal challenges and become agents of change in their countries and sectors.</div><h5>APPLICATION AND SELECTION PROCESS</h5><ul><li>The completed application should be submitted via the online system accessible on<br /><a href="https://www.cognitoforms.com/AkademiSainsMalaysia/TWASASMRegionalWorkshopOnScienceDiplomacy2024July2020KualaLumpurMalaysia"></a></li></ul> <a href="https://optdolari.blogspot.com/2020/02/twas-asm-regional-workshop-on-science.html">TWAS-ASM Regional Workshop on Science Diplomacy 2020 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (Funded)</a>
