Call for Fellows

What is the LHS Fellowship?
The LHS Fellowship is a selective, collaborative platform within the Libertas Heritage Society (LHS), aiming to harness the expertise and dedication of individuals passionate about driving transformative change across Africa. The Fellowship engages Fellows in critical political activism, socio-economic empowerment, and pan-African unity, emphasizing sustainable development in line with LHS’s mission.
As part of the Fellowship, members—referred to as Fellows—join a council of diverse professionals and leaders dedicated to addressing Africa's challenges through strategic advocacy, policy reform, and grassroots initiatives. Fellows contribute their skills in areas like governance, economic development, social equity, energy reform, and educational modernization to shape initiatives that benefit both Ghana and the broader African continent.
The LHS platform fosters rigorous dialogue, ethical leadership, and innovative strategies to tackle political and economic barriers. The Fellowship provides a dynamic space for solution-building, offering Fellows the chance to influence policies, engage in regional integration efforts, and collaborate with global partners like ECOWAS, the UN, and AfCFTA.
Why Join LHS Fellowship?
At this critical juncture in Africa's history, we stand at a crossroads. While the world experiences a surge in advancements in technology, including artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and electric vehicles, Africa is lagging behind. The challenges we face—political instability, economic disparities, and social injustices—demand innovative solutions and collaborative efforts. Platforms like LHS are imperative in the fight for equity and justice.
