Join The Fellowship

Be part of a movement transforming systems and communities.

The Kujenga Njia Fellowship is the next stage in the Kujenga Njia learning journey. Open exclusively to graduates of the Nia Upeoni Systems Change and Leadership programme, it supports practitioners who are committed to integrating the Kujenga Njia methodology into their everyday work.

The Fellowship is more than a learning programme. It is an international community of practice where Fellows from the UK and Africa test ideas, reflect on experience, support one another, and contribute to the continuing development of the Kujenga Njia methodology. Together they are building a growing body of practice that demonstrates how African-centred approaches to systems change can strengthen communities, organisations, and institutions.

Who Can Become a Fellow?

The Kujenga Njia Fellowship is open to individuals who have successfully completed the Nia Upeoni Fellowship Course.

The Fellowship Course provides participants with a grounding in the Kujenga Njia methodology and prepares them to begin applying it in their own organisations, communities, and systems change practice. On successful completion of the course, participants are invited to join the Kujenga Njia Fellowship—an international community of practitioners committed to deepening their practice, learning from one another, and contributing to the continued development of the methodology.

There is no single profile of a Nia Upeoni Fellow. What defines the Fellowship is the shared commitment to:
  • Transformative Leadership – leading with courage, vision, and inclusivity.
  • Systemic Change – tackling root causes, not just symptoms.
  • Community Empowerment – mobilizing voices for collective impact.
  • Sustainable Solutions – building pathways that endure.
Ready to Join Us?
