He leads the Population Council’s work on post-emergency programs for adolescent girls in Sierra Leone.

Before joining the Population Council, Bah was the youth engagement coordinator for A World at School, a global campaign to ensure that all children have the opportunity to thrive and learn. He co-founded the campaign in 2013 with Sarah Brown, Justin van Fleet, and Gretel Truong. Bah is the youth representative on the high-level steering committee of the UN Secretary General’s Global Education First Initiative and is chair of the initiative’s Youth Advocacy Group.

At the age of 15, following years of civil war in Sierra Leone, Bah founded and led the Children’s Forum Network, Sierra Leone’s children’s parliament. He traveled throughout Sierra Leone soliciting input from child war survivors and presented a report on the impact of the war on children to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

In 2014, Bah received the Voices of Courage Award from the Women’s Refugee Commission for his global efforts on behalf of children and youth affected by conflict and the Population Council’s Ideas with Impact Award for his work on behalf of adolescent girls as a co-founder of the Adolescent Girls Learning Circle, a community of more than 280 practitioners and advocates from 24 countries who develop and expand programs that give the poorest and most vulnerable girls in developing countries critical information, a say in their own lives, and a strong network of support.

After receiving his bachelor’s degree in social science from the University of Sierra Leone, Bah was awarded the first-ever youth fellowship at the United Nations Population Fund to work at UN headquarters in New York with the agency’s Humanitarian Response Unit. Bah received his master’s in peace studies from the University of Notre Dame.\n
