About the Fellowship

The fellowship program is a robust fellowship program that identifies and deploys highly competent tech innovators within the African continent to organs within the African Union Headquarters and organs as ‘resident fellows’ to understand the system within those organs; identify challenges within the system and propose solutions to these challenges.

The fellows will be expected to co-create and build innovative tailor-made products and processes that improve the delivery of the African Union’s mandate especially in the context of good governance and citizens engagement.

Additionally, the program will seek to facilitate conditions for building the internal capacity of the host African Union organs in the long term.

The fellowship program is implemented through the BMZ Commission’s GIZ DataCipation program which supports the African Union and its organs to enhance its mandate on citizens engagement.

Adopting a series of interventions and mechanisms, the DataCipation provides advisory and implementation support to the African Union to engage African citizens in the implementation of its mandate.

In this context, the project is providing support to the African Union to implement a Digital and Innovation Fellowship Program.

Eligibility Requirements:

Be based in Africa and must be a National of an African Union member state;

Be under the age of 34 prior to the time of application; 

Hold a tertiary education degree or its equivalent;
