Yango fellowship launches in six African countries to empower STEM leaders

Yango Group, a global tech company, has announced the expansion of its Yango Fellowship program to unlock STEM talent across Africa. Initially launched in Zambia and Ivory Coast, the initiative now extends to four more countries: Mozambique, Ethiopia, Ghana, and Senegal.

Yango Group, a global technology firm, has unveiled the latest phase of its Yango Fellowship, aimed at nurturing STEM talent throughout Africa. The program offers mentorship, resources, and networking opportunities to enable participants to transform their innovative ideas into practical solutions for local communities.

Following successful implementations in Zambia and Ivory Coast, the fellowship is now expanding to include Mozambique, Ethiopia, Ghana, and Senegal, reaching a total of six nations. Participants will receive financial assistance, professional mentoring, and entry into a pan-African network of fellows collaborating on community-driven projects.

Recent cohorts have secured notable internships, paving the way for promising career advancements. Looking ahead to 2026, Yango plans to transcend national boundaries by establishing a enduring network of STEM experts. This initiative will connect ambitious youth from diverse African regions, fostering collaboration long after the program's formal end.
