Wall Conservation Leadership and Management Fellowship (CLMF) brings together young African professionals from business, NGOs, the public sector, and community-based entities passionate about project implementation and leading impact in the environment space, to impart them with transformational leadership and management skills for impact.
The CLMF, run by African Wildlife Foundation (AWF), is more than a program—it’s a journey of transformation for young African professionals like you. Now entering its third cohort, CLMF is a highly competitive and prestigious fellowship with over 1,000 applications received last year alone, a testament to its unique value and the depth of learning it provides. If you’re ready to turn your passion for conservation into a legacy of leadership and systemic impact as well as join a prestigious community of young conservation leaders like yourself, we encourage you to apply today.
