Conversations with the Aspen New Voices Fellows

The New Voices Fellowship at the Aspen Institute is an initiative designed to bring more expert voices from the developing world into the global development discussion. Supported by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the first 12-member class of New Voices fellows were selected from 10 African countries--Cameroon, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mali, Nigeria, Somalia and Tanzania--for a year-long program of media support, training, research and writing. Six of the New Voices fellows, in a series of interviews, shared their experiences with AllAfrica.
