The ARSRC proudly announces the 2009 SLD Fellows. The fellows were selected through a highly competitive selection process and criteria, including their outstanding leadership potential and demonstration of commitment to contribute to advancing knowledge and action in favour of healthy, respectful, responsible and pleasurable expression of sexuality in Africa. The ARSRC selected 15 young Africans from the government, academia, media and non-profit sector. The 2009 Fellows come from 7 African countries, and they share their reflections about the fellowship programme.
