About fellowships

A fellowship is a structured programme — usually funded — that develops you, not just your CV: intensive training, mentorship, a cohort of peers, and often a placement or project. Programmes like YALI and the Obama Foundation Leaders programme are built specifically for emerging African leaders.

Selection panels look for evidence of impact and a trajectory: what have you already changed with the resources you had, and what will this fellowship unlock next?
