Spark Link Africa

We are thrilled to announce a significant milestone in our mission to cultivate a new generation of ethical, visionary, and impact-driven African leaders.

Today, we welcome Emmanuel Forson from Ghana as the Program Lead of the EYEA Leaders Fellowship. Emmanuel is a First Class Honours Communication graduate, whose academic achievements are complemented by his dedication to leadership, operational excellence, research, stakeholder engagement, and youth empowerment. His extensive experience in business management, education, media, and development positions him well to provide strategic leadership as we enhance the reach and impact of the Fellowship.

In his role as Program Lead, Emmanuel will collaborate closely with our team to coordinate program implementation, strengthen participant engagement, foster strategic partnerships, and ensure that each Fellow undergoes transformational leadership development.

At Spark Link Africa, we recognize that Africa's greatest asset is its youth. By empowering capable leaders like Emmanuel, we are committed to building a future where young Africans can lead with purpose, integrity, and innovation.

Please join us in congratulating Emmanuel Forson on this well-deserved appointment and wishing him success as he embarks on this exciting leadership journey with the EYEA Leaders Fellowship.

Welcome to the team, Emmanuel. The future is brighter because leaders like you have chosen to serve.

Igniting Potential. Empowering Change. Transforming Africa.

The journey has begun!

On Tuesday, the Harvest Generation Cohort officially started their 8-week training program, and the energy in the room has been inspiring from day one.

Over the next eight weeks, these fellows will learn, build, collaborate, and turn ideas into real solutions.

We’re excited to watch their growth and see the prototypes they’ll showcase at the end of the program.

Thinking about joining the next cohort?

Applications for Cohort 4 open on July 1st.

We’re looking for 100 passionate fellows across different industries who are ready to learn, create, and make an impact.

THE HARVEST GENERATION HAS OFFICIALLY BEGUN!

Yesterday, Spark Link Africa successfully hosted the Orientation Session for the EYEA Leaders Fellowship Cohort 3, bringing together over 20 exceptional young leaders and entrepreneurs from Cameroon, Ghana, Togo, and Nigeria.

While the cohort is strongly rooted in agriculture and food systems, it is also enriched by innovators from education, health, logistics, and other development sectors, creating a diverse community united by a shared vision to solve Africa's challenges through sustainable and financially inclusive ventures.

Under the theme, "From the Soil to the System: Building Financially Inclusive Ventures That Feed and Fund Africa," fellows explored the fellowship's vision, expectations, and opportunities for impact while gaining insights from distinguished speakers and mentors.

Thanks to the vision bearer, Ojong Godwin, MC of the day, Ambassador B**g Precious, and our keynote speakers, Tabeel Yerima and Bechem MaryKeller, who showed up to ignite the fire within the fellows so they can embark on a constructive journey to build sustainable communities.

The session culminated with the adoption of the Fellowship Covenant founded on Excellence, Integrity, Community, Service, and Sustainability; values that will guide every fellow throughout this transformative 8-week journey.

Today marked more than the start of a fellowship. It marked the beginning of a pan-African community of changemakers committed to building solutions that strengthen livelihoods, create opportunities, and transform communities across Africa.

The seeds have been planted. The Harvest Generation is ready to grow.

SPARK LINK AFRICA PRESENTS TO YOU THE HARVEST GENERATION COHORT

We are proud to officially unveil the fellows of the EYEA Leaders Fellowship Cohort 3, a dynamic group of young leaders, innovators, and entrepreneurs committed to building solutions that feed communities, expand financial inclusion, and drive sustainable development across Africa.

Under the theme, "From the Soil to the System: Building Financially Inclusive Ventures That Feed and Fund Africa," these fellows are beginning a transformative journey of leadership, learning, innovation, and impact.

Join us in celebrating and welcoming The Harvest Generation Cohort as they prepare to cultivate ideas, create opportunities, and transform the future of Africa from the 10th of July 2026 to the 1st of August 2026.

THE CODE HAS BEEN RELEASED.

Africa's future will not be shaped by those who wait for change. It will be shaped by those who create it.

I am excited to officially announce the launch of the Disruptor Code Leadership Accelerator programme, a transformational leadership and entrepreneurial development programme inspired by the principles of The Disruptor Code: The Entrepreneurial Mindset of Africa's Future.

This Pan-African initiative is designed for young professionals, entrepreneurs, students, emerging leaders, and changemakers who are ready to unlock their potential, expand their influence, and create meaningful impact in their communities and industries.
Participants will embark on a powerful leadership journey through five stages:

READ. LEARN. APPLY. LEAD. INFLUENCE.

Through coaching, mentorship, practical learning, networking, and leadership development, participants will gain the mindset, skills, and confidence needed to lead in a rapidly changing world.

Successful participants will earn the Certified Disruptive Leader (CDL) credential and become part of a growing network of purpose-driven leaders across Africa and the diaspora.

Mme. Naggayi, reminding every fellow that courage is the first requirement of creation.

Eng. Edmund Ayuk BE for breaking down what it actually takes to get youth-led enterprises funded.

And . Ojong Godwin for closing with a practical roadmap, not inspiration alone, but a real 90-day pathway to enterprise.

To every Architech Yen Bertilla, Christabel, who stood up, shared their journey, and made their pledge publicly, congratulations.
