The ONE Champions Program 2019 is open for applications. The Champions program aims to empower citizens at the local level to lead and drive change on ONE issues with their policymakers and communities using locally relevant channels and tactics. Champions help us reach members who share the same passion for change.
Their role in any year is to focus on and amplify the priorities ONE Africa is working. All the information will be provided at the inception of the Champions program in Senegal and Mali.
To do this, they provide a unique platform for champions to take action that will have an impact on their community, their country and the world, working in an appropriate environment, with ONE members who are mission driven.
