About us

The Global Entrepreneurship Leadership Fellowship Program (GELFP) is a prestigious fellowship designed to empower entrepreneurial leaders across Africa and the global diaspora to drive innovation, ethical leadership, and public-private transformation. Fellows engage in executive education, mentorship, and strategic project development.

The Global Entrepreneurship Leadership Fellowship Program (GELFP) is more than a program—it’s a movement to cultivate a new generation of visionary leaders who are shaping the future of Africa and the global diaspora through innovation, ethical leadership, and transformative enterprise.

GELF is designed for entrepreneurial changemakers who are not only building businesses but also driving systemic change in their communities and industries. Through a dynamic blend of executive education, mentorship, and strategic project incubation, fellows gain the tools, networks, and insights needed to lead with purpose and scale impact.

Whether you're launching a tech startup, leading a social enterprise, or transforming public-private partnerships, GELF equips you to:

  • Lead with integrity in complex environments

  • Innovate boldly in response to local and global challenges

  • Collaborate strategically across sectors and borders

  • Build sustainable ventures that uplift communities and economies

    GELF is hosted by the Global Entrepreneurship Leadership Center, a flagship initiative of Djaha & Company in partnership with the Africa-Israel Economic Cooperation Committee, the AIECC Africa-Israel Foundation, and is deeply rooted in the values of inclusive growth, digital empowerment, and leadership excellence.
