This month, our Senior Alumni Relations Manager, Kirsty Scott, is visiting partners and Commonwealth Alumni in Ghana, Sierra Leone, and Togo. The visit aims to celebrate alumni achievements, explore their impact on sustainable development, and strengthen collaboration across the region.Ìý
During the trip, Kirsty will meet with alumni associations to learn about their growth initiatives and hear directly from partners, including national nominating agencies, about how they engage scholarship applicants. These conversations will help us understand how we can best support alumni and identify opportunities for future collaboration with regional partners.Ìý
The visit also coincides with the launch of our second cohort of Commonwealth Startup Fellows, who are beginning their exciting journey to drive innovation and entrepreneurship, and create meaningfulÌýjobs for the future.
