The 2026 GhanaSIG fellowship will be a hybrid event which combines both online learning and in-person sessions. The online learning will be done for one month. This will be followed by a one week face-to-face session to be held in Accra, Ghana.

The tentative schedule for the online learning will be in the month of May 2026, while the face-to-face session will be end of June 2026 in Accra, Ghana.  

After the face-to-face session, participants will be required to undertake their mandatory GhanaSIG Community Impact Project, where they will share with a selected community topics of interest, and provide reports.

Full participation is required in the entire fellowship engagements in order to become a qualified Fellow of the Ghana School on Internet Governance (GhanaSIG).
