Since its foundation, Inawa has been driven by a simple belief: African talent is a catalyst for the continent\u2019s development. This commitment has built a global network of Alumni who began their careers with us. In 2024, we formalized this vision with the Inawa Skoon Fellowship<\/strong>. \u201cSkoon\u201d, a contraction of Soukoune, meaning School in “Yom” a language from Benin. A 12 months, fully funded and highly structured immersion as a Research Assistant, designed to give fellows their first real professional experience.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>
