Ashesi is happy to welcome a new member to its leadership team this year. Araba Botchway joins the university as Director of Development, and will serve on the Executive Team of the university.
With her experience in Project and Grants Management working in an international, multicultural and non-governmental setting, Araba hopes to use her skills and passion for youth development to attract the support necessary to educate future African leaders at Ashesi who will look beyond personal gain and work for the common good of Africa's people.
Prior to her new role at Ashesi, Araba worked as the Program Officer for the Ford Foundation International Fellowships Program (IFP) in West Africa for a period of 12 years. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in French with Spanish from the University of Ghana, a post graduate diploma in Marketing of Services from the Maastricht School of Management (Netherlands), an Executive MBA from the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration, a certificate in Management of Higher Education Institutions from the Galilee College (Israel), and a certificate in Project Management from Syncom Business Intelligence (South Africa).
We are excited to have Araba on our team!
