Fully Remote DPI Governance Fellowship 2026 — Shape Africa’s Digital Future
The DPI Governance Fellowship 2026 is a three-month, fully remote program designed to train a new generation of researchers focused on the intersection of digital public infrastructure (DPI), human rights, governance, and inclusion across Africa. This initiative aims to equip participants with a critical, rights-based lens to analyze and influence digital governance, ensuring that technological advancements serve to empower rather than disenfranchise vulnerable populations.
Participants will engage in a structured research process that includes theoretical grounding, ethical field engagement, and policy translation. The fellowship emphasizes the importance of producing actionable outputs, such as policy briefs and advocacy tools, that can be utilized by policymakers and civil society to demand accountability in digital transformation.
Eligibility
Open to individuals interested in digital governance and human rights, particularly those who can commit 15–20 hours per week for the duration of the fellowship. Applicants from diverse backgrounds, including women, refugees, and persons with disabilities, are encouraged to apply.
Deadline: Ongoing
Benefits
Participants will receive a modest stipend for their involvement in the program.
