Announcing the 2017 cohort of the Mandela Washington Fellows from Ghana, US Embassy Ghana, on Facebook posted a picture of the 40 winners.

YALI was launched in 2010 by US president Barack Obama to invest in the next generation of African leaders and nurture them as they spur growth and prosperity, strengthen democratic governance, and enhance peace and security across Africa.

The Mandela Washington Fellowship takes young African leaders to the United States for 6 weeks of leadership training and mentoring at twenty U. S. universities and colleges in three areas: business and entrepreneurship, civic engagement and public administration.

The US Embassy Ghana announced Philip Osei Bonsu’s selection on its Facebook page and outlined his dream to equip the youth with the right entrepreneurial skills to tap into the immense opportunities the Western Region provides, by training 10,000 youths in the next ten years.

Philip Osei Bonsu is a Corporate Communications Executive, Broadcast Journalist and Entrepreneur. He has over eight years’ leadership and managerial experience in the media and power sector.

Currently, Philip is the Head of Public Relations for the Electricity Company of Ghana in the Western Region, where he focuses on initiating and leading the implementation of Public Relations Strategies that improve the ECG’s corporate image in the region.

Philip also sits on the Board of Western Waste Limited, a subsidiary of Zoomlion Ghana Limited and hosts Skyypower FM’s weekend news analysis program, ‘News Review’ on part-time basis. He is also the founder and CEO of OBPR Consult, a PR firm that specializes in Media Communications, Public Relations and Public Affairs.

Previously, Philip served as the Brand’s Manager of Skyy Power FM and doubled as the host of Western Region’s biggest breakfast show, the Jolly Breakfast Show on the same station. At the corporate level, he worked as the Corporate Communications Manager of Skyy Media Group.

In 2015, Philip was named with 29 other young Ghanaians as a young achiever in the ‘Newaccra Achievers Report’ (See: www.newaccra.com/rise).

Philip is a Tullow Scholar who holds an MSc in Corporate Communication and Public Affairs from the Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen. He’s also an alumnus of St. Johns School in Sekondi, and he graduated with 1st class Honors in Linguistics and Theatre Arts from the University of Ghana.

Philip is committed to promoting youth development and capacity building in entrepreneurship through the sharing of knowledge and strategic networking. Upon completion of the Mandela Washington Fellowship, Philip plans to build a world-class Public Relations firm. He also plans to continue facilitating the training of the youth through an annual summit he convenes – the Western Regional Youth Entrepreneurship Summit, the biggest gathering of existing and potential youth entrepreneurs in the region.
