Deadline: August 4, 2025
Applications are open for the Pollicy Fellowship 2025. Since 2017, the Pollicy Fellowship has been a launchpad for emerging African thinkers, doers, designers, and dreamers. They bring together students, creatives, technologists, researchers, and community organizers to explore how civic technology, digital rights, and feminist data practices can reshape our collective future boldly, creatively, and on African terms.
This is not just a learning opportunity. It’s a chance to be part of something larger than yourself. Fellows co-create real, impactful work that strengthens communities, influences digital policy, and sparks lasting change. If you are driven by purpose and powered by curiosity, they want to hear from you.
