You can now apply for the Policy Fellowship in Africa, which brings together students, creatives, technologists, researchers, and community organizers to explore how civic technology, digital rights, and feminist data practices can boldly and creatively reshape the future on African terms.
Implemented by Police, a feminist collective of people working as technologists, data scientists, creatives, and academics, the fellowship helps fellows co-create real, impactful work that strengthens communities, influences digital policy, and sparks lasting change.
The benefits include direct contribution to real policy projects, weekly mentorship and learning sessions, a platform to publish your work (toolkits, blogs, campaigns, and games), a final public-facing project, and access to a growing community of alumni and collaborators.
The fellowship will last for six months, and each fellow is expected to commit four days a week (primarily remote). Fellows will receive a monthly stipend of USD 500 and an internet allowance.
Who can apply?
