About this Fellowship
This award is designed for young African scholars passionate about a career in leadership, security, and development, to impact discourse and practice in these areas.
• Spanning eighteen (18) months, this fellowship combines rigorous academic research, impactful writing, and policy analysis on leadership, security, and development issues, culminating in a six (6) month attachment at a leading African university, regional organization, or centre of excellence on the continent.
• This programme uses modalities of learning that integrate a master’s programme on Global Leadership and Peacebuilding at King’s College London with a uniquely tailored mentoring program—comprising numerous group mentoring sessions, simulation practices, one-on-one and peer-to-peer mentoring sessions, institutional visits, and attachment.
• Upon completion, fellows emerge with academic knowledge, research skills, mentorship training, and practical experience, connected to a network of distinguished African experts in peace, security, and development to take part in setting a new peace, security and development agenda for Africa.
• This is a fully funded opportunity, excluding visa application and processing costs.
